Ghana’s Embassy in China Says It Had Nothing to Do With Aisha Huang’s Return

The Ghanaian government’s efforts to distance itself from the exploding controversy over the re-arrest of illegal mining kingpin Aisha Huang (aka “the Galamsey Queen”) has now reached the embassy in Beijing, where Ambassador Winfred Nii Okai Hammond said his mission did not issue her visa.

Huang was deported in 2018 on numerous illegal mining charges and then was arrested, again, after she snuck back into the country earlier this year. Her arrest has sparked a weeks-long controversy over the government’s apparent inability to bring the illegal mining situation under control. (GHANA NEWS HIVE)
