A high-profile galamsey bust has exposed an alleged financier of the Opposition National Democratic Congress, NDC, Noah Nana Anyimadu, as a key player in illegal mining operations based at Anyinam in the Atiwa East District of the Eastern Region.
He was arrested with some Togolese nationals by the Ghana Armed Forces and Small-Scale Mining Taskforce, revealing Noah’s involvement.
Recent Developments
Last week’s operation netted Togolese miners, speed boats and Chanfan machines.
Interrogations revealed Noah’s role in smuggling foreigners into Ghana. As an influential figure with ties to traditional circles, Noah allegedly exploited chieftaincy connections.
Evidence mounted when arrested miners disclosed 40 Chanfan machines belonging to Noah.
The Security forces apprehended the driver and impounded the equipment. Noah’s subsequent demands for release led to his arrest.
Controversy and Reactions
However, Dr. Nana Ayew Afriye, the member of Parliament for Effiduase-Asokore has accuse the opposition NDC of hypocrisy, citing Noah’s past accusations against the NPP government.
