A group of young men allegedly involved in the menace of illegal small-scale mining, popularly called galamsey, received the beatings of their lives from an anti-galamsey taskforce.<\/p>\n

A video of the incident, which has gone viral, shows the young men receiving heavy lashes from a man clothed in military uniform.<\/p>\n

The accused persons, as they were receiving the heavy strokes on their backs, were forced to laugh.<\/p>\n

The man who was beating them could be heard telling them to laugh as he went around whipping them.<\/p>\n

The man taking a video of the incident could also be heard saying, \u201cWhat are you going to drink if you keep on spoiling the water\u2026 do you have alternatives to drink from?\u201d<\/p>\n

Another member of the taskforce told them to start praying as they were still receiving the beatings.<\/p>\n
