Senyo Hosi from One Ghana Movement warned about foreign people doing illegal mining in Ghana's forests. He called this a danger to national security because foreigners created their settlements inside protected areas. These hidden communities make the country less safe for everyone. He asked all Ghanaians to worry about these illegal activities happening without the government's knowledge.

The movement leader said President Mahama needs to act fast against illegal mining problems. He wants strong action because some miners carry guns that threaten security officers. Foreign miners from Nigeria, Guinea, Mali, Niger have built complete villages with wooden structures. They use these buildings as homes where they live during mining operations. Security forces burned many temporary camps during a recent operation.

The Forestry Commission worked with the Armed Forces to raid Abrewa Ninkrane inside the Subri Forest Reserve on April 15. This place became known as a center for illegal gold mining activities. The foreign miners constructed places that worked like small towns with various services. Mr Hosi believes Ghana risks becoming a failed state if these issues continue unchecked. He urged the president to take control of the situation immediately.
