13 ALLEGED NATIONAL SECURITY OPERATIVES ARRESTED AT KONONGO FOR GALAMSEY

13 alleged national security operatives have been arrested at Konongo in the Ashanti region.

The syndicate is said to have been illegally operating within the Asiwa enclave, extorting monies from small scale miners.

At around 12pm on Friday the main Kumasi-Konongo high street was blocked by a Police patrol team to halt a speeding landcruiser occupied by the syndicate.

“We had a tip-off that some people from national security have been operating in some mining communities in the Bosome Freho district, we quickly informed our commander who also ordered that we hunt them down.”

“We heard they were driving towards Accra from Bomfa junction so we quickly mounted a barrier in the main street and arrested them”
