President of the Concerned Small Scale Miners Association, Michael Kojo Peprah, has alleged that galamsey queenpin, Aisha Huang, found her way back to Ghana 6 months after her deportation.
Aisha Huang is a Chinese national who became notorious for her involvement in illegal small-scale mining [galamsey], and was deported in 2018 after the state discontinued a case against her.
Reacting to her return to Ghana, Michael Peprah disclosed Aisha returned this time around with a host of other chinese nationals who were deported for their invovenmnt in illegal mining.
“Aisha Huang returned to Ghana 6 months after her deportation. This time around she didn’t come alone. She returned with a number of other chinese nationals who were deported during Charles Bissue’s time,” he told Don Kwabena Prah on Happy98.9FM’s ‘Epa Hoa Daben’ political talk show.
Aisha set up another branch of her business in Enchi, a border town close to Côte d’Ivoire constantly evading capture. She sought refuge in Mali a number of occasions and returned to Ghana once the hunt for her lost steam.
According to Kojo Peprah, Ghanaian staff of Aisha constantly updated him and other small scale miners in the Ashanti region of the activities and whereabouts of Aisha.
She finally appeared in the Ashanti Region late in 2021 and was only discovered after she issued out threats to another Chinese national who had taken over her business and housing space in the region.
His revelation is contrary to information from the government spokesperson on security and governance, Palgrave Boakye-Danquah who said En ‘Aisha’ Huang, entered Ghana through an approved Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) check point.
He said Aisha Huang entered Ghana just a few weeks ago per his security briefing.
He said she entered Ghana with “illegal documents, forged documents, which does not even represent her name but because of how good our security services are, we have had to follow her to be sure that she was the same person that was deported out of the country, and over several weeks, we arrested her, we got to know that she entered through the country with forged documents.”
