Kwame Baffoe, commonly known as Abronye DC, has shockingly alleged that the Jubilee House has warned the Administrator of the Minerals Development Fund, Dr Hanna Louisa Bisiw-Kotei, to stay off the galamsey fight.
According to the NPP Bono Regional Chairman, Hannah Bissiw, risks losing her job if she continues her fight against illegal mining.
Speaking on his Ohiani TV programme on July 2, 2025, Abronye alleged, “Hanna Bisiw-Kotei has been warned to stay away from the forest in her fight against galamsey. They said that is not the job she was given, and if she doesn’t listen and goes into the forest again, she will lose her job.
“They said she has embarrassed the government by revealing to the public that the seized excavators have gone missing,” Abronye added.
He further claimed that the Minister of Environment, Science, and Technology, Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed, has also been warned.
“Ibrahim Murtala said on TV3 that he would fight galamsey, but he has been warned that if he tries, he will face the consequences. Have you heard him mention galamsey again since then?” Abronye asked.
Abronye’s allegations come following Dr Hanna Louisa Bisiw-Kotei expressing grave concern following the disappearance of 33 excavators that were in police custody after an anti-galamsey operation.
Speaking on Adom FM, Hanna Louisa Bisiw-Kotei stated, “We handed over 40 excavators to the police, but when we returned the next morning, only seven were left. I spoke with the Police Commander about the incident because I was unhappy with it. Right now, the seven we managed to recover are being held”.
“So, during my next operation at Atetem, I went with engineers, as well as uniformed and plainclothes police and military officers. I also wore body armour because the last time we were ambushed, and even came under fire.
The engineers I brought along ensured that the excavators, which had trackers installed to prevent us from moving them, were successfully removed from the galamsey site”.
