Miracles Aboagye insists State must account for 6 deaths at Manso Keniago over galamsey

Miracles Aboagye, the Director of Communications for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has called for an investigation into the deaths of six individuals during a confrontation between National Anti-Illegal Mining Operations Secretariat (NAIOMOS) personnel and residents of Manso Keniago in the Ashanti Region. Aboagye emphasized that each victim deserved an individual assessment instead of being grouped together as illegal miners or mob members.

He expressed condolences to the bereaved families, noting that some of the victims may not have been involved in the confrontation. Aboagye stressed that while the community should avoid confronting armed security personnel, the State had the primary responsibility to protect lives during enforcement operations. He questioned the decision not to use drone footage to establish the sequence of events and identify individuals involved in the confrontation.
