The government has disclosed that illegal miner Aisha Huang entered the country through approved routes with forged documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is in sharp contradiction to information by the Ghana Immigration Service, which indicates that Aisha Huang used unapproved routes into the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Chinese national, together with three others, have been remanded into police custody over illegal mining by an Accra Circuit Court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Providing details on the arrest, government spokesperson on National Security, Palgrave Boakye Danquah said Aisha Huang would face the full rigour of the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor us as a government, we are aware that she entered with illegal documents; forged documents which do not represent the names.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut because of how good our security services are, we had to follow her to be sure that she was the same person that was deported out of the country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOver several weeks, we monitored her and got to know that she entered into the country with false documents,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aisha Huang was deported in 2018 because of her illegal mining activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The deportation was criticised as many felt she should have been prosecuted instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier reports indicated that she returned to Ghana from a neighbouring country through a land border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She also has a Ghana Card with the name, Huang En.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Attorney General plans to initiate prosecution against the suspect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She has been charged with mining without license and engaging in the sale and purchase of minerals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
