The Vanguard operation says that she is looking for people imitating her officers and fooling unsuspecting Ghanaians.
This follows the arrest of two people who ran as members of the working group in the Ashanti and West regions.
the The government's illegal anti-exploitation task force is responsible for ensuring that illegal mining activities do not take place in any part of the country.
Since then, some unscrupulous people have taken advantage of the team's mandate to present themselves as members and exploit unsuspecting Ghanaians claiming, among other things, to protect them from any attempt at arrest for illegal mining activities.
Captain Andy Sowatey, public relations manager of the Vanguard operation, who told Citi News that the two people were arrested, was handed over to the police for investigation and possible prosecution.
"We are investigating two individuals whom we have posed as members of Operation Vanguard's staff. One of them was apprehended on the 11thth July. He was identified as Arnold Gyedu, 33, who was handed over to the Fomena police. [Ashanti Region] for investigations and Richard Nkrumah, 35, arrested in Bogoso Junction, Western Region. We are watching for them, we are doing our best to limit the number of people claiming to be doing business on behalf of Operation Vanguard. "
Meanwhile, the task force says its operations are now more active. Earlier in July, the team had arrested 85 illegal miners in the eastern region alone.
"It's not necessarily that the fight is not won. What is happening is that while we are trying to find these illegal miners, we are finding better ways to conduct our operations. "
"With the changes in the way we conduct our operations, we are now able to achieve better results in terms of arrests," said Captain Sowatey at a previous interview.
