A mining pit has become a death trap at Amemerewa no.2 a community in the Obuasi Municipal Assembly putting the lives of residents in serious danger.
In an earlier engagement by the Member of Parliament (MP) for the Obuasi West constituency, Hon Kwaku Agyemang Kwarteng on April 13, assured residents of Amemerewa that, he has witnessed a mining pit close to a school in the community which has become a death trap.
He told that the investor has been cautioned to possibly salvage the land.
A visit by Soireenews correspondent, Yaw Opoku to the sighted on 18 August 2021 disclosed the pit was still uncovered. Some residents who spoke to Soireenews off-camera said it is a worry to them since their wards play a lot of games around the mining pit.
They asked for immediate reclamation by the investor whose name was given as Asamoah before something terrible happens.
A 27-year-old, Yeboah Cosmos who resides at Amemerewa said a lot of effort has been made by the youth to reclaim the land but has yielded no positive results due to the opinion leaders uninvolvement.
He is pleading with Hon. Member of Parliament for the Obuasi West constituency, Hon. Kwaku Agyemang Kwarteng and the Assemblymember for the Electoral Area Hon. Francis Appianin to swiftly intervene before some of the residents become victims by falling into the mining pit.
