On April 9th, 2022, two notorious poachers from the Larabanga Community of the West Gonja Municipality, Mumin Baharu and Osman Ibrahim nicknamed Vuga, were apprehended by gallant and industrious Mole National Park Rangers.
According to a source from Bole-based Nkilgi FM, Rangers on a routine patrol in the park heard a gunshot from the Poachers and went to the area.
The Rangers were on their way when they came across a four-man squad of poachers on a particular stream who had shot and killed a Buffalo and were preparing to split the spoils.
The Rangers strategically positioned themselves, set up an ambush, and apprehended the Poachers.
According to Nkilgi FM's sources, the poachers have been causing concern among Mole National Park officials for some time.
The Poachers were caught using a shotgun that was used to kill the Buffalo. Within 24 hours after their arrest, the Poachers will be processed for court.
