According to the site manager of the illegal miners, Agya Badu Yaw, his boys were on their normal duties as usual when those armed macho men laid ambush on them, saying that they were sent by the Divisional Chief, Nana Kwaamena Damoah II.
In no hesitation, they started beaten the illegal miners with sticks, metallic objects, their hands and legs from all angles causing serious injuries on their heads, arms and other parts of their bodies.
The macho men later confiscated all their working equipment such as washing machines, pumping machines among other equipment to the chief’s palace at Wassa Brofoyedu.

In a sharp response from the palace of Mampongso Divisional Chief, Nana Kwame Annim (I) who is the Apagyahene of the Divisional Chief explained that, these illegal miners at Kyinkyeso have destroyed almost all the major river bodies in the area. It is now left with only one stream which serves about 10 communities with a population of over 15,000 people and the kyinkyeso galamsey boys want to touch that one too.
So the chiefs only sent men there to stop them and cease all their equipment to the chief’s palace.
