At least one person was shot dead by police on Saturday evening in Lolgorian, Transmara South, after clashes erupted when officers moved to evict miners from the Kilima Pesa mining site.
The confrontation came days after the government ordered the indefinite closure of the mining site following a deadly tunnel collapse that claimed five lives.
Area police commander Enrico Telewa told Citizen TV by phone that officers had arrested four miners and detained them at Lolgorian Police Station.
