Nine Ghanaian officers rescued after mob attack following anti-mining raid.
On November 1, 2025, nine Ghanaian military officers were rescued by police in Ahafo Hwidiem after being attacked by an angry crowd following a raid on an illegal mining site near Bronikrom.
The officers, part of a national anti-illegal mining operation, had seized vehicles, equipment, and weapons, including a pistol and ammunition, and burned down mining structures.
Over 600 residents stormed the Hwidiem Police Station demanding the return of seized property and disciplinary action, leading to a mob vandalizing a police vehicle.
Amid a power outage, authorities negotiated with the Zongo Chief, who offered his 4×4 for evacuation.
The vehicle was damaged during the chaotic rescue, and five officers were escorted to safety under armed protection.
The incident underscores tensions between security forces and communities over illegal mining enforcement.
