In a dramatic turn of events at Akim Akuase today, July 8, 2024, the NPP Deputy National Communications Director, Mr. George Krobea Asante, also known as Gambo, publicly confessed his involvement in illegal mining activities, commonly known as galamsey. This confession came as a desperate plea to local leaders to save his life after a series of curses were pronounced against him by infuriated traditional leaders.
The tension began when Mr. Krobea accused certain traditional leaders of facilitating the destruction of their lands through galamsey. This accusation sparked outrage among the local chiefs, particularly a sub-chief who invoked powerful river gods to punish Mr. Krobea for his allegations, calling for his demise.
Realizing the severity of the situation and fearing for his life, Mr. Krobea quickly sought refuge with the chiefs. Under the immense pressure of the situation, he was compelled to confess his own involvement in the illegal mining activities. This confession was made in front of the entire community, a humbling act that paved the way for the reversal of the deadly curses.
The video of this extraordinary event captures Mr. Krobea’s emotional plea and the traditional rites performed by the chiefs to revoke the curses. The reversal of these curses was conditional upon his confession, emphasizing the community’s strong stance against galamsey and its devastating impact on their lands.
This incident highlights the intense local opposition to galamsey and the severe consequences faced by those involved. It also underscores the powerful role of traditional authorities in maintaining order and justice within their communities.
Watch the video to witness the remarkable sequence of events that led to the absolution of Mr. George Krobea Asante, as he publicly atoned for his actions and sought the mercy of his community’s leaders.
