Accra-Ghana, Dec. 13, GNA – A team from the Rapid Response Unit of the Forestry Commission, drawn from various districts across the country has demobilised 10 excavators and arrested eight persons for engaging in illegal mining activities in the Krokosua Hills Forest Reserve in the Juaboso Forest District of the Western North Region.

Those arrested were four Chinese nationals and four Ghanaians. Others, however, managed to escape into the forest.

The Team razed down some makeshift wooden structures erected by the illegal miners, three Toyota 4×4 vehicles with registration numbers GN 4165 -12; GT 9334 -12, and GS 4895-Z used to facilitate the illegalities were also seized, in addition to one unregistered motorbike and two pump action guns.

The suspects were sent to the Sefwi Wiawso Police Regional Command for further investigations and prosecution, together with unspecified quantities of a substance suspected to be gold, which the Team seized.

Meanwhile, two excavators were also demobilised in the same Reserve on Sunday.

The Krokosua Hills Forest Reserve lies along the eastern end of River Bia in the Western North Region of Ghana and serves as an important watershed. It is one of the biodiversity hotspots in the country with a rich diversity of rare and restricted range flora and fauna. A portion of this Reserve has been designated a Globally Significant Biodiversity Area (GSBA).
