Gold mines of death, agony and misery for peasants

The gold mining fields at Edwin Andobe's homestead that have been fenced off by the investor.

Paul Ikumili, 25, is distraught after losing family land leased out as a gold mining field to an investor in 2017.

A close relative who leased out the land did not disclose details of the agreement to the family. The investor immediately fenced off the land, rendering the family homeless. Ikumili’s house was fenced inside the mining field.
