The two personnel of the National Anti-Illegal Mining Operations Secretariat (NAIMOS) who sustained gunshot injuries during an armed confrontation at Manso Keniago in the Amansie South District of the Ashanti Region have been treated and discharged.
Their conditions have also been reported to be stable following medical attention.
The update was provided by the Secretariat in a post on its official Facebook page on Friday, November 13.
“The two NAIMOS personnel who were injured in yesterday’s clash have been treated and discharged. Their conditions remain stable,” the post said.
The development follows an armed confrontation between NAIMOS personnel and a mob at Manso Keniago on Wednesday, November 11, during an anti-illegal mining operation.
The incident occurred while the task force was transporting excavators seized during the operation to a designated location for safekeeping.
Three people reportedly died during the confrontation, while the two NAIMOS personnel sustained injuries.
NAIMOS had earlier condemned the attack and reaffirmed its commitment to continuing enforcement operations against illegal mining across the country.
