‘Dare us and face consequences’ – NAIMOS warns illegal minersHe further disclosed that several arrests and seizures have been made as part of ongoing operations to clamp down on illegal mining. Col Buah also highlighted what he described as a strong operational success rate by NAIMOS in tackling galamsey activities. He noted that beyond outright seizures, operatives have also resorted to immobilising excavators found at illegal mining sites due to logistical challenges. He added that the presence of heavy-duty equipment at illegal mining sites has significantly reduced in recent operations. On the issue of seized vehicles, NAIMOS said they are being redirected into official operations after due legal processes.
