Until President John Dramani Mahama declares State of Emergency, it is dangerous for anyone to go to this galamsey to stop them.The Military are not even permitted to use their guns on them.
Huuuuuuuu, Wofa @Kojois, the class one grandfather..!!!!! If you want that burning pain in your heart to go away, just go to school and stop giving all your emotions to that extinct party called the NPP. Your party will not c ...

Hahahaha. Who will even vote for a dancing goat like Bawumia the comedian and incompetent fool. Hahahaha
The only way out is to declare on war on them by pulling out the whole army from their barracks to all mining site to shoot and kill. If not this counter on attacks on the task forces will render the state powerless in the fi ...

IF OUR MILITARY ARE RUNNING AWAY FROM CRIMINALS WHAT SHOULD WE THE CIVILIANS DO? IN JUST ONE WEEK TWO OF SUCH INCIDENTS HAVE HAPPENED SOLDIERS HAVE BEEEN CHASE OUT FROM SIGHT. AHAFO HWIDIEM AND DADWEN. ARE WE SAFE?
Still two weeks to stop galamsey!!! Hahaha!!!
Only accident?
Please stop the galamsey in TWO WEEKS!!! We are counting fro the day of your accident.
The time has come for President Mahama to put this country first ahead of any political considerations. It is clear that Naimos and all that have arrived too late. The Galamsayers have declared war. Sending patrols of lightly ...

RESETTING IN EFFECT
This is what Ghanaians chose. They call it resetting. Let’s all live with it.
Hahaha why were you guy's running to your campaign promise on the galamsay to the youth is now coming after you the worst is about to come they will even come to your homes to instill discipline into your stupid mindset
The Galamsey guys are looking forward to seeing ppl like Sam George, Felix Ofosu Kwakye,Opare Addo,Beatrice Annan,Sharaf Mahama etc to come to them and talk to them.Mahama shd try it, they will listen to him.
This dechemicalised water people are not serious.
They were lucky, the galamsey guys wanted to dechemicalised their blood with the muddy waters.
President Mahama was said he would release galamseyers imprisoned by Akuffo addo.when he was running for president
President Mahama should address the country on the attack on the NAIMO security forces by the Galamsey security on the orders of an MP. He must come out to condemn this attack in the strongest terms and warn against future at ...

@Kofsam. The problem is that Mahama is a weak President. He is not a Jerry Rawlings type of person.
He is not weak but needs the galamsey gold money. Big source of GDP income. He has set up Goldbod. Sole buyer of Gold in the country where 70% comes from Galamsey. Small Boy Sammy Gyamfi is swimming in milk & dashing out doll ...

The President is a weak leader. He's not focused on what he wants to do, and seems to be distracted by many of his followers. Any leader who thinks he can satisfy all his followers will ultimately fail.
Safety first
Ndc is just a curse to this nation
President Trump why are you taking to long to help ghanaians out of galamsey dread log? please send your soldiers to ghana to combat these poor citizens are being deprived from enjoying clean nature water kill those all invo ...

Lol. Trump is a lame duck president. His party has only 5 more house of representative members than the democratic opposition. He will not be able to pass his budget after november 6 2026.
Do you know USA gocernment is technically in shutdown mode now?
PRESIDENT MAHAMA, SAY SOMETHING DO SOMERLTHING FOR THIS SERIOUS. WE'VE REACHED OUR END
When we said don't play politics with galamsey, you thought we were rather doing politics. During opposition, the NDC would blame government for failure to fight galamsey in the day, and go to meet the galamsey operators in t ...

Ndompo!! W) redzi agor with galamsey ns3m. Get serious and flush them out right away
Madam, please don't do what you are doing. You might end your life. Leave it to the NAIMOS task force. Dr Hannah Bissiw attempted same but she has retreated. Leave it for the Men.
God bless you. Your sector has now turned a death sector so be wise on your schedules to face no harm
But If Galamsey is not stopped now these matcho men would soon develop to become terrorist
Mahama does not care, Sammy gyamfi is loading his booty to be shared later.
I’ve said it and will say it again. Unless the Ghana Air Force start spraying galamsey sites with live bullets, these greedy fools will resist every government efforts because no one will let go gold riches easily.
John Mahama is a con man
Stop praising this macho men to their untimely death. The military withdrawal was to protect the prof and her team. They’d gone not for a fight, they did the right thing by not engaging because they wouldn’t be able to pr ...

These galamsay people may have caused the plane crash that killed the officials. Force may not work. Let’s educate them and help to absorb them into the responsible mining industry. This can be done in many ways.
The reason why these galamsayers are emboldened is that the same people who are authority to stop them are compromised. How dare a civilian raise an arm against a soldier???
I have no sympathy for any NDC party or government official who is attacked by galamseyers. They promised them while in opposition to enhance their operations. Why are they now trying to stop them? John Mahama is more wicked ...

My prayer is for the Army to end this useless democracy like Traore has done in Burkina. I thought we had voted a repented looter back into power. Mahama is the most useless president in the history of this world.
Write your comment WHO ARE THEY FOOLING?? ALL THESE MACHOMEN ARE WORKING FOR WHO? GO ASK THE SPEAKER OF PARLIMENT . THE NDC POLITICIANS ARE AT WORK NO TWO WAYS.
MADAM GET OFF YOU ARE HYPOCRITES AND SYCOPHANTS
NDC no see nothing yet!
They should kill the MP for Obuasi. He is an NPP idiot. Let soldiers go there and open fire into his stomach
The military ran away???
About 4 soldiers not even a platoon.
We said it, but they never listened
Officials who went on that trip are giving conflicting statements. Yesterday I listened to Nhyira FM and one of their journalists who was involved in the accident gave entirely different narration. He said nobody confronted o ...

They are de-chemicalising galamsey and the water bodies.
So are the guns the armed men following the EPA team walking sticks? You remember what the true soldiers dis to the illegal miners at Obuasi after the election 2024. Is the country's security now in the hands of hoodlums? I c ...

Mr President it is time to act swiftly and declare a state of emergency in all illegal mining zones in order to prevent some possible civil war.
It's very sad to hear this! I wonder why no arrests have been made since.
I thought the state security agencies would have done underground work and arrested the kingpins by now.
We're really playing with these thugs and th ...

It looks like the military men and other security men accompanying the team were not well armed, knowing well that the galamsey operators are all the time armed.
In that instance intelligence is a matter of fact. Intelligen ...
