A NAIMOS Officer has been confirmed dead after a tragic vehicle accident involving the National Anti-Illegal Mining Operations Secretariat (NAIMOS) team. Four other officers are reported to be in critical condition and have been referred to the Anglogold Obuasi Hospital after receiving initial treatment at the Obuasi Government Hospital.
The accident happened late Wednesday as the team was returning to Obuasi following an operation at a concession in Anyankyerim, an area recently taken over by illegal miners. Eyewitnesses reported that the vehicle somersaulted between the Anyankyerim community and the Airport Road.
This incident highlights the dangers NAIMOS Officers face while enforcing the law and protecting Ghana’s mining concessions from illegal operations.
