10 Excavators Seized By IMCIM Taskforce For Engaging In Illegal Mining Activities


The Taskforce established by the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Illegal Mining has shown resiliency in its assigned task of ensuring that illegal mining activities are drastically curbed if not annihilated.

On Saturday, 5th January,  2019, the Taskforce left Accra for Apramang in the Denkyembuor district of the Eastern Region to continue with its mandated operations.

Though they knew where they were going to comb to fish out illegal miners, the miners had been given a tipoff by some unknown informants.

This development would lead to the illegal miners hiding their equipment and fleeing the sites.

This would not deter the Taskforce from searching the bushes and this yielded great results.

Ten heavy duty equipment could be discovered by the Taskforce. They were excavators and these are their breakdowns;
● 3 Doosans
● 1 XCMG
● 5 Hydromeks
● 1 Caterpillar

These machines have since been brought to Accra.

"I’m just lying in bed, looking at the ceiling and asking myself what’s the purpose of life? Is it not the peak of heartlessness to knock down a fellow being and speed off? To you, the driver of the WHITE saloon car, who hit Lt. Felix Sormenah at Aburi on Tuesday, September 4, 2018 and bolted; may you never find peace. One of your driver’s mirrors, which got yanked off due to the impact of your recklessness is with the police. Help Please, don’t be an accessory to murder if your friend, husband, brother or uncle came home that night without a driver’s mirror or confessed his deed to you. He hit a military officer, who was training officer cadets and never stopped to help. His action took the life out of a fine officer, who was to marry on October 6, 2018 (attached to the picture is the wedding invitation).
