Thirty two alleged illegal miners accused of parading themselves as National Security operatives have been remanded by the Koforidua Circuit Court.
The court, presided over by Ms Mercy Quartey, made the decision after she dismissed a bail application by their lawyers.
Police prosecutors had earlier urged the court to remand them to assist with investigations.
The accused persons were said to have engaged in illegal mining, popularly known as galamsey, in the Akenteng Forest Reserve in the Eastern Region.
They were arrested at Akenteng, near Osinease, in the Eastern Region by the youth of the area, whose brutal handling of the gang was only tampered by the intervention of the police.
