Youth in Gbane are threatening to take matters into their own hands. They are concerned about security issues and mine closures in the Talensi district.
The Alliance for Gbane Development has sent a petition to President Mahama. They want him to restore state security in the area.
A mining dispute has caused significant job losses. Around 2,000 workers have been left jobless because of the ongoing conflict.
The youth group stated that if security is not re-established, they will be forced to defend themselves.
The exact nature of the security disagreements and mine closures remains unclear.
This situation highlights the growing tension between mining operations and the local community.
