Depoliticise Galamsey Fight Now, Lands Ministry Official Urges

A senior official at Ghana’s Lands Ministry is calling for a reset in the fight against illegal mining, warning that political interference continues to weaken progress. Paa Kwesi Schandorf, Media Relations Officer at the Ministry, says Ghana must now treat galamsey as a national crisis—not a political battleground. “Galamsey Is a National Issue, Not a Political One” Speaking on Dwaso Nsem on Adom FM after a briefing by NAIMOS, he stressed the need for a unified approach. “We have reached a point where we must take politics out of the galamsey fight,” he said. According to him, past efforts have been affected by political considerations, making it harder to achieve lasting results. Illegal Mining Cuts Across Party Lines Schandorf pointed out that illegal mining is not tied to any single political group. Members of both the New Patriotic Party and […]

UEW Chancellor demands stronger action against illegal mining after Ayensu River pollution

The Chancellor of the University of Education, Winneba (UEW), Neenyi Ghartey VII, has renewed his call for stronger action against illegal miners whose activities have heavily polluted the Ayensu River, the main water source for the Agona Kwanyarko treatment plant. The pollution has triggered water shortages across several parts of the Central Region. Neenyi Ghartey VII made the appeal during UEW’s 30th Graduation Ceremony, where 8,288 students graduated across diploma, undergraduate, and postgraduate programmes. He said the once-clear Ayensu River—used for drinking, cooking, and irrigation—has turned “milky, toxic, and contaminated with mercury and cyanide” because of ongoing illegal mining. He also condemned recent attacks on security personnel by illegal miners, calling the trend alarming and unacceptable. The Chancellor urged the government to equip the National Anti-Illegal Mining Taskforce (NAIMOS) with modern tools and technology to strengthen the national fight against […]

Coalition Against Galamsey Condemns Attack on Anti-Mining Officers in Asutifi North

The Coalition Against Galamsey, Ghana, has strongly condemned the violent attack on members of the National Anti-Illegal Mining Operations Squad (NAIMOS) and other security personnel during a recent enforcement operation in the Asutifi North District. In an official statement, the Coalition described the assault — reportedly involving a sitting Member of Parliament accused of inciting residents to confront state officials — as a “grave affront to national security, democratic governance, and the rule of law.” The group warned that illegal mining (galamsey) continues to destroy rivers, forests, and farming lands, posing a direct threat to Ghana’s environment, economy, and public health. It added that any attack on enforcement officers is an attack on the state and the future of its citizens. The Coalition called on President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to reaffirm his zero-tolerance policy against political interference in the […]

NAIMOS Arrests Three Chinese Nationals in Hiawa Koofrom Illegal Mining Operation

The National Anti-Illegal Mining Operations Secretariat (NAIMOS) has intensified its nationwide crackdown on illegal mining, achieving another major success during an intelligence-led operation at Hiawa Koofrom in the Amenfi Central District of Ghana’s Western Region. The operation, conducted after credible intelligence was received from an informant, led to the arrest of three Chinese galamsey operators, the seizure of a pump action shotgun with four cartridges, and the impounding of two excavators used in destructive mining along the Ankobrah River. According to NAIMOS, the taskforce departed for the site around 0910 hours after receiving GPS coordinates pinpointing the illegal mining activity. On arrival, the team encountered both Chinese and Ghanaian illegal miners, many of whom fled into the forest after being alerted by local Okada riders. However, three Chinese suspects were successfully apprehended. A Nissan Navara vehicle, several mobile phones, and […]

NAIMOS Arrests Four Soldiers for Illegal Mining Raids at Simpa Junction

The National Anti-Illegal Mining Operations Secretariat (NAIMOS) has arrested four soldiers for conducting unauthorized raids at Simpa Junction in the Tarkwa Nsuaem District of the Western Region. During a targeted operation on Monday, August 18, 2025, the NAIMOS taskforce seized the suspects’ weapons and equipment. Reports indicate that the soldiers were allegedly involved in illicit anti-mining activities under the guise of official National Security operations. Following their arrest, the four military personnel were handed over to the 2nd Infantry Battalion of the Ghana Armed Forces at Apremdo in Takoradi for investigations and disciplinary measures. The crackdown brings relief to legitimate mining operators and law-abiding businesses within the Tarkwa Nsuaem area. NAIMOS affirmed its commitment to intensifying operations alongside other state agencies to eradicate the galamsey menace, while the government reaffirmed its resolve to tackle illegal mining and its destructive consequences.
