Illegal Mining Chinese national, Aisha Huang is to serve a four-year sentence for mining offences

-


The 'galamsey queen' also known as En Huang will in addition to her jail term pay a fine of GH₵48,000.


An Accra High Court on Monday, December 4, 2023, found her guilty of undertaking a mining operation without a license, facilitating the participation of persons engaged in mining operations, the illegal employment of foreigners, and entering Ghana while prohibited from re-entry.


Facing the judge in her usual nose mask and white scarf, Aisha was seated in the dock one hour into the reading of the judgment. 


While Aisha Huang had denied all the charges, it was the court’s view that she contradicted herself in her defense statements in the trial which lasted for one year, and two months. 


Aisha Huang was re-arrested after she found her way into the country following her deportation in 2018 also for illegal mining offenses.

In a sermon described as a celestial roast, Rev. Obofour cautioned Christians against placing their faith in clergymen, claiming that nearly all are flawed—like cracks in the stained glass windows of a holy sanctuary. Rev.
