The Bogoso Blue Water Guards on Friday, August 1, arrested an illegal small-scale miner at Dawurapong in the Prestea-Huni-Valley Municipality of the Western Region and handed him to the police after struggling with the guards.
In an interview with Channel One News, the Leader of the Bogoso Blue Water Guards, Allan Acheampong, mentioned that the team destroyed and confiscated pumping machines.
He said the galamseyers, numbering about eight, were found operating in the tributaries of River Mansi along the road near Dawurapong, but the team only managed to arrest one person, while the rest escaped.
