Forestry Commission officials have arrested ten people involved in illegal mining. The arrests took place in the Oda River Forest Reserve.
The individuals were allegedly operating in six compartments within the reserve.
The Forestry Commission is responsible for protecting Ghana's forests and natural resources.
Illegal mining, often called galamsey, causes significant environmental damage, including pollution of water bodies and deforestation.
The Oda River Forest Reserve is a vital ecosystem that supports biodiversity.
This operation by the Forestry Commission is part of ongoing efforts to combat illegal mining activities across the country.
Authorities are continuing their efforts to stop illegal mining that harms the environment.
Further investigations into the matter are expected.
