Youth groups accuse Upper East Region Police Commander Raymond Wejong Ali Adofiem of blocking a legal miner from working. The commander refuses to protect Master Pollo despite court orders allowing him to operate his mining site. Concerned Youth Against Injustices claims Adofiem helps illegal miners instead of legitimate ones. Police officers beat and arrested Pollo's workers during a registration exercise on May 31. The commander allegedly planted an AK-47 rifle at Pollo's home to frame him.

Pollo's lawyers filed a petition with the Inspector General of Police on June 5. The petition describes how Adofiem sent away private security guards that Pollo hired for protection. Police arrested Pollo on June 4 without charges and denied him bail. His legal team says the arrest was motivated by revenge after Pollo complained about the commander's earlier assault. Youth groups plan protests next week demanding justice for the miner and proper law enforcement in the region.
