Chairman of the Small-Scale Miners Association, Kojo Peprah, has been arrested by the Special Anti-Galamsey Taskforce of the Inspector General of Police (IGP) for attempting to interfere in an operation targeting illegal mining activities in the Desiri Forest Reserve in the Ashanti Region.

According to a report by myjoyonline.com, the incident occurred when he confronted the taskforce while it was executing an arrest of illegal miners operating in the forest reserve.

Peprah reportedly questioned the officers about their mission in the area, prompting his subsequent arrest.

Upon his arrest, Kojo Peprah is said to have claimed that he had received reports that the taskforce had invaded his mining site located within the forest reserve.

However, the police have clarified that small-scale mining licenses do not authorise mining activities within forest reserves.

Kojo Peprah has since been handed over to the Nkawie Police to assist with ongoing investigations.
