It’s been close to a year since 26-year-old Gifty Mankah’s toilet sunk with her into an illegal mining pit dug beneath her house at Odumase.
However, another house has sunk into underground tunnels created by illegal miners at Odumase in the Asante Akyem Central municipality of the Ashanti region.
Part of this residential facility a few metres from where Gifty died, sank on Sunday.
Though there were no casualties, residents sit on tenterhooks with the fear of looming cave-ins.
Some residents speak of constant blasting using explosives which is cracking up walls and threatening the collapse of buildings in the area.
Others are equally disturbed about the digging beneath homes in the town for gold.
A disturbed MCE for Asante Akyem Central, Samuel Amakye tells Luv News that attempts to stop the illegality have proved futile.
