One person has been retrieved but confirmed dead whilst rescue efforts are still underway at Akrokeri in the Adansi North District of the Ashanti region to save some seven persons reportedly trapped in an illegal mining pit.

The pit caved in on yesterday morning when the miners were allegedly digging for gold despite a ban on the act.

The Obuasi Divisional Police Commander, DSP Martin Asenso told the media that an excavator has been brought to the scene to dig up to find the alleged victims.

 “Around 5am, the local police had the information that some illegal miners had been trapped in the earth. We came to the scene which is supposed to be a public toilet within the township that had caved in,” he said.

He confirmed that a dead body had been retrived from the pit, and that experts had advised that there was no trace of others trapped in the pit.

“We are not able to determine the number of people underground. We have an excavator digging since morning and we have not seen only one dead body. We are still investigating but as at now, no one from the town have come to report of a missing relative so until we’ve dug deep enough we can’t confirm that there are more people trapped underground,” he said.

Illegal mining is still rife in many communities in the country despite a war against the practice.

Incidents of the collapse of mining pits are however quite rare although there are reports that such incidents especially those involving foreign illegal small-scale miners are hardly made public because they have no close relations to take up the matter.
