In a significant operation against illegal mining, the Ghanaian authorities have made two major discoveries. A clandestine fuel station was found operating within a forest reserve, and four Chinese nationals were arrested during a raid on an illegal gold mining site.
The fuel station, discovered deep within the forest reserve, highlights the extent of illegal activities taking place in protected areas. The operators of the fuel station have not been identified yet.
In a separate operation, four Chinese nationals were apprehended during a raid on an illegal gold mining site. The operation underscores the government’s commitment to cracking down on illegal mining activities, known locally as “galamsey,” which have been causing significant environmental damage.
The authorities continue to intensify efforts to combat illegal mining and protect Ghana’s natural resources
