Chinese national, Ghanaian driver shot dead in galamsey attack at Subri-Nkwanta

A Chinese national and his Ghanaian driver have been allegedly shot and killed in a suspected robbery attack at an illegal mining site in Subri-Nkwanta, located in the Bibiani-Anhwiaso-Bekwai Municipality of the Western North Region.

According to myjoyonline.com report, the gruesome shooting, which occurred on Monday July 7, 2025, has left residents of the small mining community gripped with fear.

According to eyewitnesses, the victims believed to be involved in illegal small-scale mining, locally known as galamsey were ambushed by unknown gunmen while returning from their mining site with gold concentrate, commonly referred to as “black.”

The assailants reportedly opened fire without warning, killing both men instantly before escaping into the nearby forest with the gold.

The identities of the deceased have not yet been disclosed by the police, but their bodies have been transported to the morgue for preservation and autopsy.

Police authorities say they are treating the case as a possible robbery, but further investigations are ongoing to uncover the full circumstances surrounding the attack.

Some community members suspect the killings may be linked to growing tensions between rival illegal mining groups, often embroiled in disputes over land control and mining territories.

Residents say this is not the first time violence has erupted at galamsey sites in the area.

“We keep hearing gunshots every now and then. It’s becoming too dangerous to even live here,” a worried resident told reporters.
