Oseadeeyo Kwesi Kennin IV, the Paramount Chief of the Atti-Morkwa Traditional Area, has been ordered by a High Court in Kumasi to stop operating on a concession owned by Kadesh Mining Enterprise.
He was accused of participating in unlawful mining, or galamsey activities.
The management of Kadesh Mining Enterprise sued the Chief, claiming that he hired both Chinese and Ghanaian nationals for the illicit mining.
The company alleges that in spite of an ongoing injunction, the Chief and his colleagues have continued operating illegally on their concession.
