Two men have been sent to jail by a court in Tarkwa. They are accused of taking part in illegal mining.

The arrests happened during a police effort to stop illegal mining. This took place in the Western Region.

The court decided to keep the two men in custody. They will wait there for their next court date.

Illegal mining, often called galamsey, is against the law in Ghana.

The police and government are working to stop this activity because it harms the environment.

The court filing states the charges against the two individuals.

More details about the case will be presented at future court hearings.

The operation was part of ongoing efforts to enforce mining laws.
