MFWA suffers cyberattacks after galamsey report

Executive Director of the Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA), Sulemana Braimah has complained bitterly about cyberattacks they have had to deal with.

These attacks comes in the wake of the Fourth Estate’s recent investigative report on government appointees involved in illegal mining in the country’s forest reserves.
