Pressure is mounting on President John Dramani Mahama to dismiss the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Tano North, Pius Opoku, following allegations that he misled the public about the extent of illegal mining, popularly known as galamsey, in the municipality.
The calls come after a Facebook post by JoyNews journalist Erastus Asare Donkor on Friday, October 3, accused Mr Opoku of leading traditional leaders upstream to record videos suggesting the Bisi River was unaffected by galamsey, when in reality the downstream section at Adrobaa Bisi was badly polluted.
