Exton Cubic Company Limited has stated\u00a0that the vehicles and equipment belonging to its sub-contractor, Ibrahim Mahama\u2019s Engineers and Planners (E&P), which were seized are still in government\u2019s possession.<\/p>\n
The vehicles were impounded in the Nyinahin township upon the orders from the Ashanti Regional Minister, Simon Osei Mensah, following suspicions the mining company was operating illegally.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”CrhRZgKMm1RDeYSce2h28fqA07l00Kzf”]The Public Relations Officer of Exton Cubic, Sammy Gyamfi, on Eyewitness News<\/strong> said government is yet to release the seized equipment to the company.<\/p>\n “I can say that our equipment is still in the possession of the state. We have still not received the equipment,” Mr. Gyamfi confirmed.<\/p>\n Lawyer for Exton Cubic Limited, Reindorf Twumasi Ankrah, had served notice of a suit against the state over what he described as the unlawful seizure of the equipment, and the withdrawal of their exploration license.<\/p>\n Mr. Gyamfi said though Exton Cubic had formally written to the Attorney General, Gloria Akuffo informing her about the company’s intentions to sue government over the development, the latter is yet to return the equipment.<\/p>\n He added that Exton Cubic had also not received \u00a0\u201cany official communication from the Police and other authorities\u201d over the seizure.<\/p>\n
