At least seven illegal miners have reportedly lost their lives following the collapse of a mining pit at Manso Kaneago in the Ashanti Region.
The incident has once again brought attention to the dangers associated with illegal mining, particularly the risks faced by people who work in unstable and poorly secured mining pits.
Reports indicate that the victims were trapped after the pit gave way. Rescue and recovery efforts followed the collapse as authorities worked to establish the full circumstances surrounding the tragedy.
The latest incident is expected to renew calls for stronger measures against unsafe mining activities, as concerns continue over deaths linked to illegal mining operations across the country.
