Some members of the Local Association of Small Scale Miners in Dunkwa-on-Offin, Wassa Akropong, Manso Kaniago, Manso Tontokurom, Manson Adubia, Sehwi Dwaboso and Dominase have indicated their intention to invoke curses on members of the anti-galamsey task force—Operation Vanguard.
They alleged that the Operation Vanguards were extorting money and protecting the Chinese and Canadians to mine in the above mentioned communities in the Ashanti, Central and Western Regions while Ghanaians with licences were still in the house.
Addressing a press conference yesterday, the visibly worried miners stressed that they have given the Akufo-Addo-led administration fourteen (14) days to move the Operation Vanguard from the mining sites else they will invoke curses on them.
“We are moving to Togo and Benin with twelve cows to invoke curses on the government should it fail to impress upon the task force to move from these mining communities,” they warned.
