The Chiefs and people of Denkyira Breman in the Central Region where a mining pit collapsed leading to the death of three illegal miners and several others trapped have purified the land by pouring libation and slaughtering a sheep to gods.
The purpose of the act which was carried out on Monday afternoon, the chiefs say is to drive away any evil spirit that might take advantage of the incident to kill people in the area.
It will be recalled that on Wednesday, May 26, 2021, three persons died after an illegal mining (galamsey) pit collapsed on them at Breman in the Upper Denkyira West District of the Central Region.
About 35 others were said to have been trapped.
The bodies were deposited at the Dunkwa-On-Offin Government Hospital morgue for preservation, identification, and autopsy.
The death comes in the wake of Operation Halt which has seen some 200 military personnel deployed to clear illegal miners off Ghana’s water bodies and forests.
