In
March
2024,
a
small-scale
mining
company
sent
one
of
their
workers,
only
identified
as
Bukom
Banku,
who
plays
the
role
of
a
delivery
guy,
to
deliver
gold
worth
over
800,000
cedis
to
a
gold
buyer
in
Manso-Adubia.
However,
Bukom
Banku,
to
their
surprise,
managed
to
disappear
with
the
gold,
and
efforts
to
reach
him
by
phone
proved
futile.
Some
workers
of
the
mine
and
the
police
have
since
hunted
for
him.

Earlier
this
month,
a
lead
worker
of
the
company
was
tipped
off
by
a
traveller
who
spotted
him
in
Bawku,
which
happens
to
be
his
father’s
hometown.
The
workers,
upon
alerting
the
police
and
joining
forces,
successfully
arrested
him
in
Bawku.
Further
investigations
revealed
that
Bukom
Banku
had
used
part
of
the
proceeds
from
the
gold
to
buy
two
brand-new
motorbikes
and
two
new
tricycles
for
a
local
transport
business.
Additionally,
he
used
some
of
the
money
to
build
a
small,
manageable
house
in
the
area.
The
police
were
able
to
retrieve
nearly
half
of
the
total
proceeds
from
the
gold.
