The Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Armah-Kofi Buah has commended the Inspector-General of Police, Christian Tetteh Yohuno and the Ghana Police Service for the immense efforts in the fight against illegal mining.
Speaking at the Global Mining Summit on Monday, June 2, 2025, the minister noted that the IGP and the Ghana Police Service and other security agencies have contributed immensely in pushing back on the activities of illegal miners and safeguarding our water bodies.
Over the past two months, the Ghana Police Service has waged a relentless war against illegal mining in the country.
In Samreboi and surrounding communities alone, a special Police Anti-galamsey Taskforce constituted by the IGP has retrieved over one hundred (100) excavators, some buldozers, weapons and Chanfang machines among several other exhibits.
