Galamsey: Akyem Anyinasi issues ‘shoot-and-kill’ order to youth

The Chief of Anyinasin, Osaberima Atta Appeakrong Agyei II, has taken a strong stance against illegal mining, known as galamsey, in his community.

He has warned that those involved must cease their activities immediately or face severe consequences, including a "shoot-and-kill" policy.

This declaration follows his recent order to burn excavators and mining equipment used by illegal miners.

The chief, also a police officer, stated that the focus will no longer be on destroying machinery but on preventing further illegal mining in Anyinasin and its surroundings.
