Illegal miners were observed actively excavating the riverbed of the River Offin early this morning, continuing their search for gold. The activity persists despite widespread concerns about the severe environmental damage caused by unregulated mining operations in Ghana.
The ongoing galamsey activities pose a significant threat to Ghana's vital water bodies, impacting ecosystems and potentially affecting water quality for communities. Authorities continue to grapple with enforcing existing bans and addressing the persistent challenge of illegal mining across the country.
