The Member of Parliament for the area, Emmanuel Arnah Kofi Buah felt it was highly inappropriate and lawless of the security officers of the mining firm to have assaulted the young miner for allegedly invading their concession. He thus, demand a through investigation into circumstances that lead to the burning of Mr. Budu, and the community relations of the company.
He established that the deceased was a resident of a host mining community to Adamus Resources Limited, Anwia and should there had been any concerns about any illegal miners exploiting their concession, they could have employed due process to address it. Mr Armah Buah stressed that justice must be served for the life that had been lost to this inhumane attack by the company.
The Ellembele legislator continued that those security personnel who allegedly set ablaze the suspected illegal miner should be brought to book, while necessary steps are taken to rectify the severed community relationship the company has with its host communities.
“I call on the police to thoroughly investigate this sad event and ensure that justice is delivered with the support of the district security committee and government. Nobody must be too powerful or well connected in this investigation including Adamus mines Limited.
“It is time for Adamus resources to re-examine its relationship with its operating area communities and change its occupation mentality approach to a much-respected approach in its dealings with the communities in the Ellembele district.”
He also took the opportunity to caution the community not to engage in any reprisal attack on the company. Mr. Armah Buah indicated that it is critical for the community to exercise restraint with the fullest assurances of being granted justice over the death of their colleague.
“I call on the community to exercise restraint with the assurance that justice will be served.”
