It's sad it had to come to this. Also, sad that Ghanaians do not respect Ghana Police and the law. If this is what it will take, so be it. Galamsey has to stop before we lose everything.

They should beat the Chinese the same way. If all galamseyers are treated this way the menace will stop. Someone even suggested shoot to Kil and you are here complaining about beatings

If they can beat the Chinese same way I do not have problem but escorting them in air-condition cars to freedom is what I hate the most.

Whoever wrote this piece must also show us the most disturbing footage of galamseyers brutality against the environment of Ghana. We can make our own judgement when the writer presents us with the two footages.

Poor journalism, ghanaweb. Why can't ghanaweb verify before publication? Ghanaweb wrote "...uniformed military personnel and other individuals BELIEVED to be part of an anti-galamsey taskforce, brutally assaulting a person SUSPECTED of engaging in illegal mining. If you are not sure why report? Nobody knows what the guy did to the men in uniform. What shows the victim was an illegal miner?

While other soldiers are doing real battle at war, the only thing Ghanaian soldiers know is to bully and beat up unarmed citizens...
When it tome for war, those soldiers will be the same to go and hide under thier beds.

THOSE CAUGHT BY THE MILITARY DOING GALAMSEY SHOULD BE SHOT ON SITE BECAUSE THEY HAVE ALREADY AND STILL CONTRIBUTE TO MANY SICKNESS AND DEATHS OF INNOCENT CITIZENS OF GHANAIANS THERE THESE ILLEGAL MINERS DO NOT DESERVE TO LIVE AND ENJOY THEIR CASH FROM GALAMSEY. GALAMSEY WOULD HAVE BEEN STOPPED LONG A AGO IF IT WAS PRACTICED IN ISRAEL BECAUSE ISRAEL DEFENCE FORCE WOULD HAVE SHOT THEM AS DOGS TO STOP THEIR ILLEGAL MINING. I CONGRATULATE THE SOLDIERS TO SHOOT THESE CRIMINALS ON SITE INCLUDING FOREIGNERS WHO ARE INVOLVED IN ILLEGAL MINING THUS POLLUTING OUR RIVER BODIES AND POISONING OUR FOOD CHAIN .THE LEVEL OF INDISCIPLINE IN GHANA IS TOO MUCH AND THE MILITARY SHOULD BE GIVEN ALL THE LOGISTICS IE HELICOPTERS,DRONES AND ARMS AND TREAT THESE GALAMSEYS AS REBELS TO BE SHOT ON SITE WHEN THEY ARE FOUND.

I remember a Regional Minister or someone like that was almost subdued by illegal miners and they had to flee for their lives.
We have to be hard on these criminals or we are doomed
