How did Aisha Huang come by her Ghana Card?

Chinese immigrant ‘galamsey queen’ Aisha Huang is back in Ghana and reported to have even acquired a ‘Ghana Card’ as a foreign citizen and back to her old ways.

A lot of Ghanaians are at a lost how she came by the foreign citizen ID if the reports are true.

Aisha Huang was reportedly deported in 2019 and has been re-arrested for engaging in illegal mining.

She is currently facing two charges: mining without licence; engaging in the sale and purchase of precious minerals without a valid licence.

Aisha Huang and her three collaborators – Johng Li Hua, Huang Jei and Huaid Hai Hun; were brought before an Accra Circuit Court last Friday.

The GNA reports that, the court preserved Aisha’s plea for lack of a Chinese interpreter.

Detective Chief Inspector Frederick Sarpong pleaded with the court to remand the accused persons while investigations continue.

The galamsey queen and her three accomplices were subsequently remanded to re-appear in court on September 14, 2022.

The prosecution told the court, Aisha had gained “notoriety” for illegal small-scale mining activities known as galamsey across the country.

Chief Inspector Sarpong recounted to the court that in 2017, Aisha was arrested for a similar offence, but she managed to “sneak out” of the country to avert prosecution.

The prosecution said early this year, Aisha sneaked into Ghana having changed the details on her Chinese passport.

She resumed small-scale mining activities without a license and further engaged in the purchase and sale of precious minerals in Accra.

She is operating without valid authority as required by the Minerals and Mining Act 2006 (Act 703)

She is also found to have illegally employed foreign nationals, contrary to the Immigration Act 2000 (Act 573).

The prosecution said she engaged in the sale and purchase of minerals with the three accused persons, and that intelligence led to their arrest.

There are reports that the controversial Aisha Huang came to Ghana from a neighbouring country through a land border, and sneaks out if she picks up information about her potential arrest.
