Reports reaching our news desk indicate that some unidentified illegal miners are planning to enter and mine in the Neung South Forest Reserve, in the Tarkwa District of the Western Region.

Eye witnesses in nearby communities have sighted three excavator machines and a washing plant which are currently parked at about 700 metres away from the Forest Reserve.

According to the reports, the illegal miners have mounted barriers to restrict FC staff from accessing the Reserve. Adding that, the illegal miners blame the FC staff for looking on while one of their own was allegedly killed by the concession guards of Messrs. Kapsord Mining Limited.

Prior to the arrival of the Messrs. Kapsord Mining Limited, these illegal miners dominated the area. However, the Messrs. Kapsord Mining Limited have taken over and mounted a Security Post with their Concession Guards to protect their assigned portion.

The security post mounted according to reports, was set ablaze by unknown persons following the shooting incident between the concession guards and the illegal miners around the area.

The reports indicated that heavily built armed men in camouflaged military uniform in a Toyota Pickup vehicle were seen about 100 metres away from where the barricades were mounted and drove on high speed to the Reserve.

Public Agenda will continue to monitor the happenings in the Neung South Forest Reserve and update its readers accordingly.
