The National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) has given an update on the tragic illegal mining pit collapse at Mpasatia in the Atwima Mponua District.

Authorities have confirmed that two people were in the pit when it collapsed, and their bodies have been recovered.

However, as of now, there is no confirmed evidence of additional victims trapped underground, though NADMO has not ruled out the possibility.

Charles Oduro Boahen, the Regional NADMO Operations Officer, addressed the public during an interview on the Asaase Breakfast Show on Thursday, 3 April.
