Ghana arrests 13 foreigners and Ghanaians for illegal gold mining and trading, seizing gold and equipment.
The Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) has intensified enforcement against illegal gold activities, arresting eight foreign nationals—including Americans, Moroccans, and others from Nigeria, Ivory Coast, and Gambia—for unlicensed mining and trading in Banda and Accra.
In Accra, four Ghanaians and a Moroccan were detained for refining and trading gold without licenses, with 2.1 kg of gold and equipment seized.
In Banda, suspects were caught with raw gold, mercury, and cash.
GoldBod, established in 2025, is under scrutiny for allegedly accepting gold without verifying origins, prompting calls for stricter traceability.
All suspects face charges under Ghana’s Criminal Offences Act and Gold Board Act, with investigations ongoing.
