Residents there claim the four, who are three drivers and a mate, was killed by members of the anti galamsey task force, Operation Vanguard
.

The leader of the drivers, Kwasi Nyarko in an interview on Adom News Sunday said the four were hired to a mining site at Akyem Akukuso to tow away some mining equipment last night but did not return.

He indicated that a search operation was subsequently carried out and the bodies of the deceased were found in a shallow river.

Mr. Nyarko is convinced the four were beaten by Operation Vanguard because they detected bruises, cuts, and a mark of assaults on their bodies.
