More than 150 persons, mainly young men, have been arrested in a joint police and military operation in the Ahafo Region early Wednesday morning.
The coordinated security exercise took place in Kenyasi in the Asutifi North District and Hwediem in the Asutifi South District.
According to security sources, the suspects have been transferred to the Police Headquarters in Accra for further interrogation and scrutiny.
While the details surrounding the operation remain sketchy, it comes on the heels of heightened security alerts following the recent NAIMOS–Bronikrom clash, which saw violent confrontations between anti-illegal mining officers and unidentified youth.
Residents in both districts reported the presence of heavily armed police and military personnel conducting dawn operations, checking homes and screening individuals.
Officials have yet to release an official statement, but local authorities say the operation is part of broader efforts to maintain peace and ensure stability in the Ahafo Region.
