A galamsey pit at Ntotroso in the Asutifi North District, Ahafo Region has collapsed and killed two (2) persons when they were in the act. According to the Police, the two (2) aged 32 years apiece are Kwabena Saaben and Joshua Baidoo.
In an interview with the District Police Commander, Asutifi North and South, DSP Paul . A . Ankan, the police received a call around 9am from an unknown person revealing to them that the two were trapped in the pit at dawn and are still not out.
With this, he called his men and the Asutifi North District Fire Service to give the police a helping hand to rescue the two(2) and on their arrival at the scene, residents were already present to also assist the police for smooth exercise.
DSP Paul Ankan narrated that it took them hours to get them from the trapped pit but unfortunately the two were already dead due to the late information given to the police.
” If the people have called us earlier, what we have witnessed won’t have happened” he said.
He further said, currently the bodies are deposited at the Saint Elizabeth Hospital Morgue at Hwidiem, the capital of Asutifi South District with the police conducting investigation.
