The General Officer Commanding (GOC), Central Command of the Ghana Army – Brigadier General JA Aphour has debunked allegation that his command was providing protection to illegal miners.
He said media reports on the Military's involvement in the illegal act were a misrepresentation of facts.
Narrating why the military appeared at the mining site, Gen Aphour said the Amansie South District, richly endowed with mineral resources has seen a lot of mining activities by registered and illegal miners.
“Crime was therefore high in the District with foreign nationals, mainly from Niger, Guinea and Burkina Faso, involved,” he said.
