Search and rescue efforts are still underway at Akyem Wankyi in the Akwatia Constituency, where a mining pit collapsed on Tuesday afternoon, trapping several illegal miners.
Rescue teams, made up of local residents and police personnel, have so far pulled out four miners. Tragically, three were confirmed dead while the fourth was in critical condition and was rushed to St. Dominic Hospital in Akwatia for urgent treatment.
The incident occurred while a group of miners were reportedly working inside the pit. A nearby information center quickly issued a call for help, prompting emergency response teams to the site.
Authorities are still unsure how many miners remain trapped beneath the rubble.
The search continues with volunteers digging through the collapsed area, holding onto hope for any additional survivors.
