The Third National Vice Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC)<\/strong>, Yakubu Abanga<\/strong>, has stated his readiness to resign<\/strong> from his position if investigations find him complicit in illegal mining<\/strong>, locally known as galamsey<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This comes in response to a directive from the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice<\/strong>, Dr. Dominic Akuritinga Ayine<\/strong>, ordering the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO)<\/strong> to interrogate Abanga and NDC National Organiser Joseph Yamin<\/strong> over credible reports linking them to illegal mining operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI am willing to resign from my position if the investigations establish that I am complicit in illegal mining,\u201d Abanga said in a statement, adding that he has nothing to hide and welcomes the probe.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Abanga\u2019s name reportedly surfaced in connection with a rogue anti-galamsey taskforce<\/strong> accused by some small-scale miners of harassing legitimate operators<\/strong> in mining communities. The scope of the investigation has also been extended to include findings from Prof. Frimpong-Boateng\u2019s 2023 report<\/strong> on illegal mining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abanga has denied any wrongdoing, describing the allegations as \u201cbaseless\u201d and politically motivated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Third National Vice Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC)<\/strong>, Yakubu Abanga<\/strong>, has publicly declared his willingness to resign<\/strong> if ongoing investigations find him complicit in illegal mining activities, widely known as galamsey<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI am willing to resign from my position if the investigations establish that I am complicit in illegal mining,\u201d Abanga said, firmly denying any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

His comments follow a directive from the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice<\/strong>, Dr. Dominic Akuritinga Ayine<\/strong>, instructing the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO)<\/strong> to investigate Mr. Abanga<\/strong> and Joseph Yamin<\/strong>, the NDC\u2019s National Organiser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The investigation stems from allegations that the two party officials are connected to unauthorised anti-galamsey taskforces<\/strong> accused of terrorising legitimate small-scale miners<\/strong> and disrupting licensed operations under the guise of enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his directive dated July 15<\/strong>, Dr. Ayine noted that the probe should include issues raised in the Frimpong-Boateng report<\/strong> on illegal mining, and suggested that EOCO involve the CEO of the Minerals Commission<\/strong> to aid in the investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abanga, whose name has been cited in recent reports from affected miners, maintains that the claims are politically motivated<\/strong> and aimed at tarnishing his reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThese allegations are baseless. I have nothing to hide. I welcome any investigation that will bring the truth to light,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The case has added a new layer of political tension to the broader national discourse on illegal mining, coming just a day after former President John Dramani Mahama<\/strong> declared the galamsey crisis a national emergency<\/strong> during his tour of the Western North Region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As public concern over environmental degradation and water pollution intensifies, the EOCO investigation is expected to draw national attention in the days ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Third National Vice Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC)<\/strong>, Yakubu Abanga<\/strong>, has pledged to resign immediately<\/strong> if any evidence links him to illegal mining operations or the formation of rogue anti-galamsey taskforces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His declaration comes in the wake of a directive from the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice<\/strong>, Dr. Dominic Akuritinga Ayine<\/strong>, instructing the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO)<\/strong> to investigate Abanga and the NDC\u2019s National Organiser, Joseph Yamin<\/strong>, following allegations of their involvement in unauthorised taskforces<\/strong> accused of harassing small-scale miners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI am putting my position on the line,\u201d Abanga said in an interview. \u201cIf anybody should be bold and come out with evidence against me, Abanga Yakubu Alhassan, that I am into galamsey or I have formed a taskforce to extort money from people and bring it to me in Accra, I will resign today<\/strong> from my position.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Abanga denied all allegations<\/strong>, describing them as \u201cbaseless, malicious, and a calculated attempt to dent my hard-earned reputation<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The controversy began after a group of small-scale miners<\/strong> issued a press statement accusing the two NDC executives of supporting fake anti-galamsey taskforces<\/strong>. These groups allegedly operate in the Ashanti and Western Regions<\/strong>, where they are reported to have invaded legitimate mining sites<\/strong>, seized equipment, and extorted money<\/strong> under the guise of enforcing mining laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to these accusations, the Attorney-General\u2019s letter\u2014dated July 15<\/strong>\u2014urged EOCO to investigate the claims and include references from the Frimpong-Boateng report<\/strong>, a 2023 document that exposed high-level political interference and corruption in the galamsey fight. EOCO has also been advised to collaborate with the CEO of the Minerals Commission<\/strong> during its investigations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The probe comes just as former President John Dramani Mahama<\/strong> has declared the galamsey crisis a national emergency<\/strong>, citing severe environmental destruction across parts of the Western North Region<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The unfolding investigation has cast a spotlight on the internal politics of the NDC and raised broader questions about the role of political actors\u2014across party lines\u2014in either enabling or curbing illegal mining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abanga’s forceful denial and willingness to step aside if found guilty could raise the stakes as EOCO prepares to begin its probe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Ghana ramps up its crackdown on illegal mining, Third National Vice Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC)<\/strong>, Yakubu Abanga<\/strong>, has declared his readiness to resign<\/strong> and cooperate fully with authorities if found guilty of involvement in any illegal mining activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His response follows a directive from the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice<\/strong>, Dr. Dominic Akuritinga Ayine<\/strong>, instructing the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO)<\/strong> to interrogate Abanga and Joseph Yamin<\/strong>, the party\u2019s National Organiser, over allegations of fueling unauthorised anti-galamsey taskforces<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI am putting my position on the line, that if anybody should be bold and come out with evidence against me\u2026 that I am into galamsey or I have formed a taskforce to extort money from people and bring it to me in Accra, I will resign today from my position,\u201d Abanga stated in an interview.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

He described the accusations as \u201cbaseless, malicious, and a calculated attempt to dent my hard-earned reputation.\u201d<\/strong>
Although he says he has not yet received an official copy<\/strong> of the Attorney-General\u2019s letter, Abanga affirmed he would fully cooperate with any investigation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The allegations stem from a press statement by a group of aggrieved small-scale miners<\/strong>, led by Andrew Abban<\/strong>, who claimed that armed operatives<\/strong> posing as anti-galamsey taskforces have been terrorising legitimate mining sites<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

According to Abban, the operatives\u2014clad in camouflage and armed with weapons<\/strong>\u2014have raided sites in Sekondi<\/strong>, Bekwai<\/strong>, Offinso<\/strong>, Prestea<\/strong>, and other mining communities, intimidating workers and allegedly extorting money and equipment.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The miners accuse Yamin<\/strong> and Abanga<\/strong> of backing these taskforces and allowing them to operate with impunity under the guise of enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a letter sighted by JoyNews<\/strong>, the Attorney-General instructed EOCO not only to investigate Abanga and Yamin but also to extend the probe to any other individuals found complicit<\/strong> in the scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThe scope of this investigation should include the matters highlighted in Prof. Frimpong-Boateng\u2019s report on illegal mining,\u201d the letter read, referencing the 2023 document that implicated several political figures and officials in obstructing anti-galamsey efforts.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The CEO of the Minerals Commission<\/strong> is also expected to be invited to assist EOCO\u2019s investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These developments come just one day after former President John Dramani Mahama<\/strong> declared the illegal mining crisis a national emergency<\/strong>, citing alarming environmental degradation in the Western North Region<\/strong>. He vowed to intensify national taskforce efforts and restore Ghana\u2019s degraded lands and water bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The EOCO investigation, especially with high-profile political figures now in the spotlight, could become a major turning point in the country\u2019s years-long battle against galamsey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
