About 300
illegal miners are said to be trapped in one of the shafts belonging to
AngloGold’s Obuasi Mines at Anwiam in the Obuasi East District of the Ashanti
Region.
The miners
entered the underground shaft in search of gold deposits but were unable to
come out after all exit routes were closed.
One of the
illegal miners, Ali Tijani who spoke to Citi News said some of his
colleagues are unconscious as they have run out of food and water.
He said they
have reached out to their families and are hoping authorities can intervene to
get them out of the shaft.
