Ghanaians react as Facebook removes posts about The Fourth Estate’s exposé on mining in forest reserves

Ghanaians are outraged after Facebook removed posts about The Fourth Estate's exposé on government officials mining in protected forest reserves.

The report named several officials, including Ashanti Regional NPP Chairman Wontumi and Kumasi Mayor Sam Pyne, who reportedly use their companies for mining activities that threaten forests and water bodies.

Despite public advocacy for environmental protection, these officials' actions contradict their statements.

Facebook’s removal of related posts has led to speculation that government elements may be involved in censorship.

Social media users have expressed frustration over the perceived suppression of critical information.
