The Sofoase and Nkwaduano Yefri Royal Families of Wenchi have called for an investigation into reported mining activities and environmental damage around Twrontwo, near Atuna. The families have referred to the Kwasieda Booni, or "Dark Sunday" Report, as well as subsequent updates concerning activities in the area. Allegations include interactions between the mining operator and some members of the Wenchi Traditional Council, as well as the re-emergence of mining activity in the area.

They also emphasize the importance of reclaiming the affected lands and protecting the Tain River from further degradation, which is a vital water source for Wenchiman.
