The man who asked president Akufo-Addo about the arrest and deportation of Aisha Huang during a forum at Princeton University in the United States of America says he was prevented by the president’s bodyguards from participating in another forum held in New Jersey.
Solomon Owusu says he had 10 questions to ask the president during the first encounter but was unable to do so, as such, he registered to participate in the second forum at Rutgers University, New Jersey.
According to him, he applied online, got approval and his conference code was sent to him but upon arrival at the venue, he was told by persons believed to be the president's bodyguards that he could not enter the conference room without any reason.
"Macho men from Ghana told me they have been instructed not to allow me to enter the conference hall. I asked why and they were bossy… so I told them f*** you; you're in the United States and not in Ghana... you can't bring that bush life here," a visibly angry Solomon Owusu explained in a video cited online by GhanaWeb.
Solomon Owusu believes he was prevented from participating in the forum because of the Aisha Huang question he asked at the earlier encounter.
President Nana Akufo-Addo answering the question from Solomon said, government’s decision to deport the Chinese national after her reported involvement in illegal mining was a mistake.
“I think the decision to deport Aisha Huang in hindsight was a mistake and that is why that process and procedure is being stopped,” he said at the forum at Princeton University during his visit to the United States of America.
Aisha Huang gained some notoriety after her arrest in May 2017 and was tagged as the Galamsey Queen.
She had been charged with three counts of undertaking small-scale mining operations, contrary to Section 99 (1) of the Minerals and Mining Act, 2006 (Act 703); providing mining support services without valid registration with the Minerals Commission, contrary to the Minerals and Mining Act, 2006 (Act 703), and the illegal employment of foreign nationals, contrary to the Immigration Act, 2000 (Act 573).
During the prosecution, the government controversially discontinued the case and deported her in December 2018. Solomon Owusu indicated that he flew from Colorado to Rutgers University just to ask another question because he couldn't get the opportunity to ask all his 10 questions when he engaged the president earlier but unfortunately, he was denied entry.

Unintelligent article with these guys as headlines. laughable.
You pressmen you reported this guy telling the body guard of the President according to him " you can't bring that your b×ush life in Ghana to the States. But your are trying to get the word b°ush out of my comment. This guy is saying Ghanaians are b*ush people why don't we rebuke him for insulting Ghanaians. Ndc is happy because he made a news for the. Some one that got opportunity to ask the President a question and the President answered him. You still want to press you way wherever the President goes. What is the motive of doing that. Why can't he come to the b*ush and give his facts to the b*ush authorities in Ghana as he has chosen to call Ghanaians. God have mercy on Ndc
Sad this guy that is looking for recognition could call Ghanaians ***barred word*** people. Ndc are happy to be called ***barred word*** men because the guy has made a news to discredit our President. God have mercy. Ndc have never and will never wish Ghana well. They are desperate for power only to continue to steal from the National purse. With God it will not happen again
NDC and concert party!
Is it not true that the Okyehene competed with animals for water in various unsafe sources until the former President provided water for residents of Kyebi which is the hometown of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
Fadda Dickson wake up ooooo ton. All the hard work you and the boss have put in to make Despite media great will come to nowt if you continue to allow 1az-y journalist and editors to copy and paste +hra$h onto your news platform. How can Ghanaweb.com be a credible and authentic source? In the meet the press series, do journalist ask10 questions? You people should just sit up and don't throw $h1te to the populace.
This man was in the Rutgers University session and got a chance to answer 3 questions, when it was agreed it must be limited to 1 per questioner! He wanted a one-on-one with President, for what purposes? If you were so desperate to seek audience with the President, why not book an appointment at the Presidency instead of waiting for the President in the US? He had his chance why not allow others to also have their chance at Princeton? I probably would have allowed him in and if there were no other questions from others, let him speak and cut him off if he's making no sense. He went looking for a confrontation so he can film and put it on the web. Not sure, what the issue is with this dude, but it seems confrontation is his modus operandi, he is a trouble maker, another rabble rouser! He wanted to be seen on video and he got what he wanted because of the minders didn't think deep enough. If you are in the public eye, know that if you cannot stand the heat get out the kitchen. These j00kers are a dime a dozen and govt minders must know how to manage them. A few years in America and some people think they know better than anyone else, esp those living in Ghana. How sad! If he has evidence of corruption, why doesnt he give copies to the right agencies and stop making the Presidency the investigative arm of govt. Haba! And his so-called worship, to wit, me ma Akuffo Addo....smacks of "iimmaturity". Ya bre mo!
Why would sonebody who loozed like a nation wrecker be allowed to enter into a beautiful forum like that? who invited him? if he wasn't invited why would people even write an article about that for mischief and why did he go there? his question wouldn't have helped Ghana in anyway and his ndc will rot in opposition! I back the security apparatus who disallowed that fo*ol and wicked murderer ndc man! The president was there as a Ghanaian and African not for ndc for them to be asking questions on what? Ghana is not for the ndc and they have no right to ask any question about Ghana the country they ha*te the country they created loo00*00ted and shared. I love you security officers for doing a good work for Ghana, it's either you give them slaps or you turn them away that's it! Kudos guys !
who is he abusing, sir? why didnt they allow him to go in?
