The man whose earthmoving equipment was torched by some angry youth at Abekoase in the Atiwa district of the Eastern Region has invoked the dreaded Ashanti deity ‘Antoa Nyama’ on President Akufo-Addo and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government and its appointees for the loss.
The youth numbering about 300 burnt two new Liebherr excavators, three heavy duty generators, a new Nelson Gold concentrator, two drums of engine oil, two drums of hydraulic oil, a 5000-litre poly tank, 6000-litre diesel container, six water pumps, tools and equipment boxes and welding plants belonging to Agyei Dankwa Investment, which they claim does illegal small-scale mining (galamsey) in the area.
But Chief Executive Officer of the mining company, Patrick Agyei Dankwa is blaming government for his predicament.
He indicated that the youth in the area would not have taken the law into their own hands if government had not started the fight against illegal mining known in local parlance as galamsey.
A livid Agyei Dankwa said he engages in small scale mining and has acquired the needed permit from the Minerals Commission.
The cost of the equipment according to him is estimated at USD$1.5million and he does not have such an amount to buy a new one.
The angry miner described as total wickedness the action taken by the youth but rather chose to curse President Akufo-Addo and other politicians especially in the NPP he claims are deeply involved in galamsey to also suffer the same fate.
“Nana Addo and his government should take drastic measures and bring perpetrators to book else something bad will happen to the country. I am deeply hurt and if government takes no action, then God should use me to punish these politicians. They will face even more disasters more than I am facing now” he cried on Accra-based Neat FM.
Mr Agyei Dankwa has therefore given government two weeks' ultimatum to take action or face his wrath.
He is also predicting a more serious disaster if nothing is done about his current predicament.
“The God I serve will deal with them if government refuses to take drastic measures to solve my situation because our leaders don’t speak the truth” he stated.

Oh noo, he couldnt have used antoa cos antoa is also a river so why would antoa harm the President since the President is fighting to save our rivers. The youth that burned his property can be reported if he thinks he has a case rather than invoking curses cos God even wont allow him to destroy mother nature for his selfish aggrandizement.
Agyei Dankwa is just a dim witty. So we should let him go about doing his so-called mining without any consideration to the people of Akyem. We can't tolerate such absurdities and it will be fair if the people of Atiwa and it's environ bounce on him with no mercy. He is such a trash. I command all Akyems to stand up against this ***barred word***
Adama, thanks for your correction, but which ever way he said it, God will rather turn the curses unto him since God never created This our LAND to be destroyed in such a manner. God will surely protect HIS creation, that is why God chose President Nana Akufo-Addo to come and take action on this activities of the destroyers of our land and rivers bodies. God bless our homeland GHANA, God bless President Nana Akufo-Addo. AMEN.
Listen, God did not create this nice environment for you to destroy them all in the name of making money for yourself especially the water bodies which is being polluted on daily basis. Have you looked back to check the harm you have done to nature including killing innocent people slowly?
@boni hmmm....some times I wonder why we behave like that as a people..but please you have to calm down.not all black people are sstupid.

Even if he invoked antoa...who the f.u.c.k is that ffffolish antoa.antoa is nothing but a u$eless deity revered by ***barred word*** mammals who doesn't know antoa has no power.blacks should stop the backward life and do something meaningful to society.the black man is just $tupid...always looking for an excuse...you people should stop the pull him down syndrome and build your nation.you think there are no spirits in other countries,nobody cares about them...in Ghana everything you want miracles and short cuts...galamsey is destroying water bodies and the environment and you are spending time cursing and blaming government? You people are just sick in the head
Peacefmonline, please do accurate reporting. I listened to the man on Okay FM, he never invoked Antoa. Rather he sought God's intervention for a calamity to befall Ghana in two weeks if Akufo-Addo does nothing about the case.
