Information reaching DGN Online indicates that a 27-year-old miner has been shot dead at a Chinese mining company in Tumbi Kusaase, a suburb of Manso-Kaniago in the Amansie South District of the Ashanti Region.
Narrating how the incident happened at the bank of river Adubia on Silver FM, the locals in the community normally mine in the abandoned pits around Chinese site.
Last night, August 19, 2021, the miners, including women gathered and moved to the area to work in the abandoned pits but the security man at the place, fearing for his life gave warning shots to scare them away but the people insisted on working.
“The security man gave two warning shots to scare and sack the people but they refused knowing that they are free to work. The security man later pointed the gun to the man amongst the women and shot him straight in the chest”, the reporter told the host of the program, Nana Kwabena Ampratwum.
His corpse has been deposited at the morgue.
