Gunshots, arrests heighten tension over Nawara mining concession in Nsuapemso

The incident is the latest development in an escalating dispute over control of the company’s mining concession, with competing claims involving Nawara Mining Company and CMS & A&A PRO Mining Company, which is said to be responsible for managing the revoked Nawara mining concession.

Residents of Nsuapemso in the Fanteakwa South District of the Eastern Region were once again thrown into a state of fear and panic after gunshots reportedly rang out for several minutes during a security operation at the offices of Nawara Mining Company.

The dispute centres on control of a large-scale gold-mining concession in the Fanteakwa South District, particularly around the Akyem Hemang/Nsuapemso area.
