  "account": "The Chief of Manso Keniago, Nana Obeng Mensah Ababio, has challenged the National Anti-Illegal Mining Operations Secretariat (NAIMOS) to present evidence of the alleged attack on his community that led to a retaliatory attack. Six people were killed and several others injured in the clash between NAIMOS operatives and the community. The community claims the shooting was unprovoked, while NAIMOS maintains otherwise. The Chief alleges that some victims were shot in their homes, while others were killed while fleeing or indoors. He disputes reports that the community mobilized to attack NAIMOS at the excavator site, insisting the engagement was only between himself and some chiefs. The community is calling for an independent investigation and the withdrawal of NAIMOS pending the outcome.",
