According to the Chief of Defence Staff, Lt Gen Obed Boamah Akwa, Capt. Maxwell Adam Mahama and the military detachment at Upper Denkyira West in the Central Region were not there to protect illegal miners. The Chief of Defence Staff has insisted the soldiers were officially assigned to the area. He emphasised that their presence in the area was “sanctioned” by the military high command with the knowledge of the defence ministry. The CDS fell short of telling Ghanaians what exactly soldiers in Denkyira Oboasi are doing but credible evidence on the ground shows the soldiers are in Denkyira Oboasi guarding a Chinese Mining Company plying their nefarious mining activity in a prohibited forest reserve. My investigations across the country indicate that, GAF personnel active support to illegal mining activity in Ghana is still prevalent. Currently, GAF personnel are still actively guarding Chinese Galamseyers in a prohibited Forest around Kolgo area in the Upper East Region.
So, from what the CDS is saying, it means the military high command sanctioned the protection of illegal miners in a prohibited forest reserve and, once the military has sanctioned such activity, it makes the whole galamsey operation in the forest reserve legal. My goodness, what a stupid CDS. This can only happen in Ghana where university graduates are useless. I suspect the CDS is a university graduate. That is why he is that stupid. Anyway, are Ghanaian soldiers trained to guard Chinese mines in Ghana.

Amewu is one of the reasons the capt was killed.
He said soldiers were protecting galamseyers which is not true especially when he didn't check with the MOD about it.
Then later the president meets soldiers and orders them to lead fight against galamsey.
The capt died because of the loose talk by amewu.cheap political talk to undermine the former regime but it has blown up in their face

How ? Is it because he's fighting for foreign mining companies who are also destroying the environment?

VERY SURPRISE THIS HAS NOT BEEN IMPLEMENTED. THE MINING ITSELF IS WHOLE ECONOMIC INDUSTRY THAT COULD EMPLOY AND IMPROVE SOCIO-ECONOMIC IN THAT COMMUNITY. GHANA IS UNDER UTILIZING AND MISMANAGING IT NATURAL

This's ostensibly a preemptive move by the NDC, to point an accusing finger at the NPP, knowing that the soul, and breath of this incident came as a result of their incompetency and penchant for amassing ill gotten wealth. The NDC, due to their wickedness invited foreigners e.g. The Chinese and Russians and fronted them to aquire permits under shady documentations to destroy our environments. They partnered some unscrupulous business entities to peddle the mining equipment to these foreigners. Their businesses even evaded the taxes that were supposed be paid for importing these heavy duty equipments to this country. So now knowing that the backlash of their obvious shady dealings is imminent, they've made a U- turn to blame the NPP administration that is cleaning their mess. This is why Ghanaians now hate everything about these leeches and hypocrites infested NDC looting party,
