Who Born Dog! …Military, Police Hit Back After Attacks On Galamsey Taskforce; 1,050 Suspects Rounded Up In Dawn Swoops

Police and the military on Wednesday conducted massive coordinated dawn swoops across the country where security personnel, state officials and journalists in the line of their constitutionally mandated duties came under attacks from hooligans.

During the multiple swoops, in which a contingent of about two thousand (2,000) men and women, drawn from Police and Armed Forces, backed by two Black Maria trucks, thousand and fifty suspects were rounded up.

A release dated Wednesday November 12, 2025 and signed by the Acting Director General, Public Relations of the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF), Captain (Navy) Veronica Adzo Arhin, said the GAF and Ghana Police Service are conducting simultaneous targeted and intelligence-led joint swoops in the Ashanti Region specifically Dadwene and Anwona, Volta Region at Ehi, and at Hwidiem, Kenyase, Goaso and Marhani in the Ahafo Region.

It continued that, “the operations, which started at dawn of Wednesday November 12, 2025 at all the locations, aimed at arresting identified persons involved in the recent attacks on members of National Anti-Illegal Mining Operations Secretariat (NAIMOS) team, some police officers and officials of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including journalists.”

It went on that, “any individual or group that attempts to obstruct the operations of any of the security services in their anti-galamsey operation or in the performance of any other lawful duty will face the full force of the law.”

The Armed Forces and the Police, the release went on, “we wish to assure the general public that adequate measures have been put in place to ensure the safety and security of well-meaning inhabitants of these towns and communities. They are encouraged to remain calm and go about their regular duties without fear or panic.”

The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mr Christian Tetteh Yohuno, who dispatched some of the scheduled officers as ground operations Commanders in an exclusive interview with The Chronicle did not mince words, in saying that the operation would be sustained to send clear signals to criminals that the security forces have no space to accommodate them.

Mr Christian Tetteh Yohuno in sounding a warning to criminals as Christmas nears, stated that the security services would do everything possible to unsettle and dismantle their networks.
