The Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, , has been captured in a viral video shedding tears over the aftermath of mining activities by Akonta Mining Limited.

The caption that accompanied the video shared by GHOne's X account on April 21, 2025, sought to suggest that he broke down in tears after watching a documentary showing the destruction of lands and water bodies in the Western Region by Akonta Mining Company Limited.

In a rather emotional scene, a man is seen approaching him to briefly console him with a gentle pat on the shoulder.
