The assembly member for the area, Hon Mark Amponsah however, discounted this claim.
He told this reporter that he has informed his DCE so they are working on it to bring peace in the community.
Hon Amponsah wondered why the Ghana Armed Forces could be controlled by Asanko mining company without any provocation by resorting to raiding, beating innocent people.
