Tension is partially brewing at Sabronum, a farming community in the Ahafo Ano South East District of the Ashanti Region, as there is a heated confrontation between the youth of the town and some galamseyers following the destruction of almost all river bodies within their enclaves.

The galamsey activities are being perpetuated by some self-seeking nation-wreckers who are bent on destroying every vegetation for gold on a daily basis.

According to the report, the activities of the galamseyers have hindered the ability of the farmers to visit their farms for fear of attacks from these miscreants.

They have succeeded in destroying cocoa farms within hours of invading these farms with their excavators in search of gold at the expense of the livelihoods of the residents of Sabronum.

A victim of the attacks

Led by Jonathan Osei Bonsu, the youth activists of Sabronum are appealing to all security agencies, the regional minister and the IGP to help protect their heritage.

Mr. Bonsu is, therefore, appealing to his Royal Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II to step in for peace.

“If by next week nothing is heard or done about this self-inflicted predicament that has destroyed our only source of drinking water (River Asuyomfo), we will arm ourselves to defend our very existence,” he declared.
