The Operation Vanguard Task Force team has arrested a female illegal miner at Datano in the Amansie West District of Ashanti.
The 35-year-old Ama Frema who told the taskforce she hails from Obuasi in the Ashanti Region was picked up on Saturday August 12, 2017.
Frema who has since been handed over to the Manso Nkwanta District Police Headquarters for processing for court told the task force she was a full time illegal miner and does not do any other business.
The Operation Vanguard is aimed at ensuring that the President of Ghana’s Special Initiative against illegal mining was carried out.

Illegal miners are worse than armed robbers. Destroying our very existence. Kudos Vanguard

Below are photos on some of the items confiscated from the illegal miners by the Operation Vanguard Taskforce....eei peacefm so where are the below pix u are talking about?. A woman doing illegal minng instead of looking for something better to do with the little saving uve gain from the illegal mining business
It looks like the police man just came to pose for the picture, whilst the soldier really went down the mud to chase the woman and arrested her. The police man looks like someone who has been sitting in an office or sitting in the car. hahahaha
This photo is needless. Graphic shouldn't have published the photo. As much as I support all efforts to stop illegal mining in Ghana, I find the above photo reprehensible. How can 2 armed to the teeth officers pose with harmless woman. Armed robbers deserve this treatment not recalcitrant illegal miner.
