Dismissed After Arresting Suspected Galamsey Operators: Ex-Soldier Daniel Cries for Justice

Justice delayed is justice denied.” Former military officer Daniel Asiedu is calling on President John Dramani Mahama to intervene in his dismissal from the Ghana Armed Forces in 2023. According to him, he and other officers reportedly arrested suspected illegal miners (galamsey operators) and handed them over to authorities after acting on the government’s strong stance against illegal mining. While the other officers were later allowed to continue their service, Daniel Asiedu says he was dismissed and has been fighting for justice ever since. He claims the decision has had a devastating impact on both him and his family and is now appealing to the President to help review his case.
