Key Points

  • The National Anti-Illegal Mining Operations Secretariat (NAIMOS) has appealed for increased logistical and financial support.
  • Director of Operations, Dominic Buah, cited limited resources, particularly operational vehicles, as a constraint.
  • NAIMOS is urging corporate organizations and NGOs to provide assistance, promising public acknowledgment for contributions.
  • Col. Buah issued a strong warning to illegal miners against violent confrontations with the anti-galamsey task force.
  • He emphasized that NAIMOS operatives are well-trained and prepared to defend themselves ruthlessly against armed resistance.
