OBS: 47 Illegal Chinese & Indian Miners Busted In Ghana | The Question Is; How Did They Get In?

miners in Ghana

How did all these people enter Ghana? I am sure someone must have facilitated their entry—purposely to come and mine illegally…

I was told a disturbing story of Chinese miners who took Ghanaians hostage in their own country so they can force these Ghanaians at gunpoint to mine, cook and wash for them…

Interestingly, the police did nothing about this since the foreigners had managed to buy their conscience.

Apart from subjecting Ghanaians to inhumane treatment in their own country, these illegal foreign miners are destroying our vegetation, landscape and water bodies without permission…

A foreigner dare try this in China or India, yet they continue to do this in Ghana!

According to The Ghanaian Times;

A total of 47 foreign nationals have been rounded up by the presidential task-force against illegal mining at Dunkwa-on-Offin, in the Central Region.

Those arrested included Chinese and Indian nationals.A search conducted revealed a substance suspected to be cocaine on one of the Chinese.The foreigners were arrested in their hotel in the early hours of Tuesday.

The task-force, during the operation, destroyed 13 locally made machines belonging to some of the miners at two different locations.

At Kyekyewere, some of the illegal miners who took to their heels and crossed the Offin river upon seeing the team, started raining curses and insults on the personnel who were there to carry out the exercise.

They said that their involvement in the illegal mining operation was to support their livelihood.

The Central Regional Minister, Samuel Sarpong, who led the team, in an interview with reporters, said that the exercise was aimed at flushing out all illegal miners whose activities had destroyed all water bodies in the country including the Pra and Offin Rivers.

He said that the situation was so severe that efforts must be made to protect the land and water bodies, from total destruction.

He noted that the foreign nationals had the support of their local counterparts to destroy the nation’s natural resources.

The Central Regional Police Commander, Commissioner of Police (COP) Ransford Moses Ninson, told the media that, yesterday’s exercise was to take the illegal miners by surprise.

He promised that the exercise would be sustained in order to protect all water bodies and land in the region in particular, and the nation as a whole.

They have been transported to Accra by personnel of the Ghana Immigration Service for the necessary processes and deportation formalities.

  2. We as Ghanaians always turn against our own, yet support the strangers. Where in India or China can a Ghanaian go to do what they are doing? You will be dead before you say “ah.” I am not saying they should be killed, but stronger measures should be in place for those who think they can come to our country to enslave us. For goodness sake, this is our country. We have not traveled to them for them to misuse and abuse us. Our leaders are shameless excuse for human beings. They are the cause of all these nonsense. They sold our peace and freedom for some money, and in the end we are the ones suffering. God have mercy on us.

  3. @Akose: You’ve said it all our leaders don’t have a clue how the world works. There’s a saying that if you are stupid, you are assisted to be stupid and that’s what they are exhibiting. How can people walk into Our country and place their hands on whatever they want. You go try something there and see how far you go. Unless all the loans they took from the Chinese is so much that they can’t keep up payments so these people come to our country arm themselves and place their hands on whatever they want. It’s a shame on our leaders! We the pupil are the majority we need to fight back at these politicians or politrickcians coz we put them there in the first place!
