A tragic accident has occurred at Adaase in the Obuasi municipality, resulting in the deaths of three officers of the National Anti-Illegal Mining Operations Secretariat (NAIMOS).

According to reports, two of the officers died on the spot, while the third succumbed to injuries shortly after being rushed to the Obuasi Government Hospital.

Details of the accident are still emerging, but it’s understood that other officers were injured in the incident and are currently receiving medical attention.

The cause of the accident has not been officially confirmed, and investigations are likely underway to determine the circumstances surrounding the tragic incident.
