A former Ghanaian galamsey miner has exposed the horrifying practices within the illegal gold mining trade.
Galamsey, which means illegal small-scale gold mining, has gained notoriety for its environmental impact, but this shocking account delves into a darker aspect.
The ex-miner, who spoke with Okatakyie Afrifa on Angel FM, disclosed the disturbing rituals undertaken by galamsey workers in Obuasi.
He revealed that human sacrifices are made to supposedly enhance the success of their gold mining endeavors.
According to the anonymous source, the ringleaders of these illegal operations collaborate with nurses from various hospitals.
Shockingly, the nurses are allegedly paid hefty sums, up to GH₵50,000, to provide them with newborn babies. These innocent infants are then used in ritualistic sacrifices.
The babies, tragically stolen from their families, face a horrifying fate. They are subjected to a gruesome end – slammed against the walls of the galamsey pits.
This act is believed to invoke spiritual forces that would grant favorable returns in the miners' quest for gold beneath the earth's surface.
The spine-chilling account has left many people shaken and horrified. The revelations have raised serious concerns about the depths of criminality and cruelty that some are willing to go to for financial gain.
Following the broadcast of the interview, numerous Ghanaians expressed their outrage and disbelief.
Calls for a thorough investigation into the claims made by the ex-miner have flooded social media platforms and discussions.
Law enforcement agencies are under pressure to dig deep and uncover the truth behind these shocking allegations.
