Kiape, Ghana – Dagaaba settlers at Kiape, a community near Bole in the Bole District of the Northern Region woke up in the morning of last Friday to meet the mass killing of their pigs.
A member of the community called Andrews Dery, in an interview with Bole based Nkilgi FM, alleged that some people from the Gonja Community who are believed to be illegal miners otherwise known as galamsey operators in Kiape came to the settlement area of the Dagaaba people and killed their pigs.
According to him, some of the people who came to kill the pigs claimed they are trying to locate gold in the Kiape area but the presence of the pigs is making it impossible for them to get the gold hence their decision to kill all of them.
Some of the people, he disclosed, indicated that they were returning to the community today Monday September 3rd 2018 to kill the remaining pigs that were kept in pigsty.
He is however surprised that the people are killing pigs that have been ‘caged’ saying they are trampling upon the rights of the owners of the pigs.
Andrews Dery said the pig owners invested money in buying the feed of the animals and so it is unfair for someone to just get up and start killing the animals.
Meanwhile the chief of Kiape denied knowledge of the killing of the pigs when their owners went to ask him.
