Ghana’s President Nana Akufo-Addo says the return of deported Chinese national, Aisha Huang, into the country is a mystery to him.

According to the president, he’s not sure about the “galamsey kingpin’s” earlier deportation from Ghana, following her arrest in 2018 over her illegal mining activities.

Speaking on a Ho-based radio station, as part of his tour of the Volta Region, he expressed reservation about the nefarious activities of Aisha Huang and affirmed his support for her prosecution.

“I’m not still sure whether she was in fact deported. Or whether she fled the country the first time and has now come back. There still seems to be some uncertainty about it.

“But whichever way it is, she’s become the sort of nickname for all that galamsey represents”, he said.

“We have concerted to work at it. We need to have the cooperation of the courts. Until recently when I came, the punishment for people caught was relatively light. [But] we’ve changed the law to stiffen the punishment for people caught.”
