Two individuals from Bole are in critical condition after allegedly being assaulted by military operatives at an illegal mining site (Galamsey) in the Bole District.
Sources indicate that the military operatives were dispatched by the Savannah Regional Minister.
The NPP Vice-Chairman for the Bole-Bamboi Constituency, Yakubu Mahama, and another victim are currently receiving treatment at the Bole Government Hospital.
Reports suggest that military personnel are frequently deployed to protect Chinese miners engaged in illegal mining activities in the Bole area.
A confrontation occurred between the military personnel and Yakubu Mahama, who is also involved in Galamsey, leading to the severe beating of him and his colleague.
In response to the incident, angry youth in Bole besieged the Bole Police station where the military had taken the victims.
The situation escalated, prompting the military officers to fire warning shots to disperse the crowd.
