Queen mother of Abesua in the Ashanti Region has reportedly asked farmers in the town to relocate if they can't co-exist with the chanfan operators following a recent demonstration in the area over the negative impact of illegal mining activities.

The farmers say they have no option than to relocate, since illegal mining activities have affected their livelihoods.
