Aisha Huang, the ‘galamsey kingpin’ who was deported in 2019 is back in Ghana and has been re-arrested for engaging in illegal mining.
She has been slapped with two charges which are: mining without licence, engaging in the sale and purchase of minerals without a valid licence.
She was arrested with three others — Johng Li Hua, Huang Jei and Huaid Hai Hun.
Aisha Huang and her accomplices were brought before an Accra Circuit Court last Friday.
The Ghana News Agency (GNA) reported that, the court preserved Aisha’s plea because there was no Chinese interpreter.
GNA reported that, at the court, Detective Chief Inspector Frederick Sarpong prayed for the court to remand the accused persons while investigations continue.
The galamsey kinpin and her accomplices were subsequently remanded. They are to re-appear in court on September 14, 2022.
Below are a few details from GNA
The facts as narrated in court are that the complainants are security and intelligence officers and the accused persons, Chinese nationals.
The prosecution said Aisha had gained “notoriety” for engaging in a series of small-scale mining activities known as galamsey across the country.
It said in 2017, Aisha was arrested for a similar offence, but she managed to “sneak out” of the country, averting prosecution.
The prosecution said early this year, Aisha “sneaked” into Ghana having changed the details on her Chinese passport.
It said Aisha resumed small-scale mining activities without a license and further engaged in the purchase and sale of minerals in Accra without valid authority as granted by the Minerals and Mining Act.
The prosecution said she engaged in the sale and purchase of minerals with the three accused persons, and that intelligence led to their arrest.

This lady committed the same offense a few yrs back and was repatriated, and came back to commit the same offense again. She doesn't respect us as a country, because we do not enforce our laws fully. If this happened in China you will be sentenced to death, I strongly believe there are Ghanaians who aided her to come back. We shouldn't be surprised black people are not respected anywhere we go because we are not serious.
Our elders should show a little remorse to their citizens and take this lady on as a deterrent for disrespecting our laws, a lot of people have taken our rules for granted for so long this is the time to show where the power line
USELE SSSSSS OSAFO MARFO IS THE CAUSE OF THIS ENBOLDE N CHINESE AND LET ME TELL GHANAIANS YOU CAN NEVER NEVER. NEVER DO THIS IN CHINA BUT THEY CAN DO IT IN AFRICA BECAUSE THEY TAKE OUR LEADERS AND US AS FOOOOOOOOOO L S. IN CHINA YOU NEED VISA FOR EVERY CITY YOU WANT TO VISIT BUT IN GHANA BECAUSE OF BRIBBERY SECURITY AGENCIES THEY ROAM FREE AS A BIRD AND COMIT CRIME. SHE WASN'T AFRAID TO COME BACK AND GO BACK TO HER GALAMSEY PIT. THAT IS HOW BOLD THEY ARE, WILL DESTRY OUR ENVIRONMENT WIT OUR SAME MONK EY BLACK PEOPLE AND GO BACK TO LEAVE IN THEIR CLEAN ENVIRONMENT.
Very SAD! Ghanaians don't love their country Ghana. Can a Ghanaian deport from the USA, Germany, Italy, France or UK EVER enter those countries? Who let her in? Ghanaians aiding foreigners to destroy Ghana? I wish the punishment for illegal mining in Ghana is DEALTH PENALTY!
