Gyau called on the government to end galamsey to restore spiritual protection. Meanwhile, the Chief of Nkawie urged citizens to embrace peace ahead of the December elections.

The government deployed over 100 armed soldiers to clear miners from key water bodies, including the Birim River, where extensive pollution has become a serious issue.On October 10, military forces, in collaboration with the Ghana National Association of Small-Scale Miners, seized and destroyed three changfan machines used by illegal miners along the riverbank. Despite this effort, the pollution has quickly resurfaced, raising concerns over the sustainability of anti-galamsey operations.The task force also targeted other illegal mining sites, destroying additional changfan machines and water-pumping equipment along the Pra River in the Central Region.
