The District Chief Executive of Bosomtwe, Ing. Hamidu Abdallah, has stated he will take legal action. This follows accusations from a group of Assembly Members. They claim he is involved in illegal mining operations.
The Assembly Members allege that these mining activities have caused significant damage. Farmlands and water bodies in several communities have been destroyed.
These environmental damages have reportedly impacted the livelihoods of local families. The Assembly Members stated that the DCE is colluding with illegal miners.

The Bosomtwe District Security Committee is expected to investigate the matter further.
The Assembly Members have not yet provided specific evidence to support their claims.
The DCE's threat of legal action indicates a serious dispute between local leadership and elected representatives.
Further details are expected as the situation develops.
