Two miners have died after reportedly losing consciousness inside a mining pit at Juaboso in the Western North Region.
The two men reportedly entered the pit around midday on Saturday, September 26, to carry out mining activities but did not return as expected. Their prolonged absence raised concern on Sunday morning, and a friend entered the pit to look for them. He reportedly found both men weak and distressed. Residents then joined efforts to bring them out and take them to the Juaboso Government Hospital, where they were pronounced dead on arrival.
One of the victims has been identified as Richard Oduro, popularly known as Churches, a resident of Juaboso township. The second man, said to be a stranger in the community, has not been identified. No statement from the police, the hospital, the family or local authorities was available at the time of reporting.
Initial reports suggest overheating and inadequate ventilation underground may have contributed to the incident. Authorities have not officially confirmed the cause of the deaths.
