Ghana Issues Stern Warning: Crackdown on Illegal Gold Trade Intensifies

Ghana Cracks Down on Illegal Gold Trade: Foreigners Face Stern Warning Ghana is taking a firm stance against illegal gold trading, with authorities issuing a strong warning to foreigners involved in the illicit activity. Prince Minkah, in an interview with JoyNews, stated that "any foreigner caught within the local gold trading industry will not be let go." This follows the recent arrest of three Indians found with a significant amount of gold and cash. The arrests are part of a broader crackdown on illegal gold trading, aimed at maximizing national benefits from Ghana's gold resources. The operation involved the collaboration of the Gold Board and National Security. According to the report, a local man, Salifu, is also implicated in the scheme. The details surrounding Salifu's involvement are still emerging. This decisive action sends a clear message that Ghana is committed to protecting its national resources and upholding the rule of law. The government's focus on curbing illegal activities and ensuring fair trade practices is a positive step towards sustainable economic growth.
