Residents of Manso Keniago in the Amansie South District of the Asha to Region have booed the District Chief Executive, Benjamin Marfo, and other government officials during an engagement at the Keniago Palace.
The incident occurred a day after six residents of the community were reportedly killed during an altercation involving operatives of the National Anti-Illegal Mining Operations Secretariat (NAIMOS).
The tension-filled encounter saw residents express their displeasure towards the DCE and the other officials who visited the palace following the deadly incident.
Speaking at a press conference, the Keniago Chief, Nana Obeng Mensah Ababio, gave an account of what allegedly triggered the confrontation between the residents and the NAIMOS operatives, which resulted in the firing of firearms.
The chief’s account is expected to shed more light on the circumstances surrounding the incident, which has heightened tension in the community and raised concerns about the conduct of the anti-illegal mining operation.
Residents are expected to demand answers and accountability over the deaths, as calls grow for a thorough investigation into the circumstances that led to the fatal confrontation.
