Ken Ashigbey backs independent probe into NAIMOS-Manso Keniago clash

Ken Ashigbey, the Convenor of the Media Coalition Against Illegal Mining, has called for an independent investigation into the clash between National Anti-Illegal Mining Operations Secretariat (NAIMOS) personnel and residents of Manso Keniago in the Ashanti Region. The inquiry must establish the cause of the confrontation, identify the owner of the excavator at the center of the disagreement, and determine why some residents resisted its movement.

Ashigbey believes that an independent investigation is crucial to ensure that appropriate measures are taken to prevent a recurrence and to identify any potential involvement of influential individuals in the community. He also emphasized the need for physical evidence examination at the scene to reconstruct the sequence of events and urged investigators to consider the possibility that the excavator belonged to influential people in the community.
