\"AIshaAisha Huang faced three criminal counts in 2017 but has since been set free.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Should the National Democratic Congress (NDC) clinch the 2020 presidential seat, it plans to capture and prosecute Aisha Huang for crimes she committed on Ghanaian soil, disclosed Member of Parliament Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa on JoyNews\u2019 Newsfile Saturday. <\/p>\n

Huang, a Chinese citizen widely known as Ghana\u2019s \u201cgalamsey queen,\u201d first made headlines in 2017 when authorities discovered she was engaging in illegal small-scale mining at Bepotenten in the Amansie Central District of the Ashanti Region.<\/p>\n

Government officials charged her with three criminal counts: undertaking small-scale mining operations, providing mining support services without a valid registration and the illegal employment of foreign nationals.<\/p>\n

Two years later, Huang was abruptly deported and has since been \u201cset free,\u201d according to multiple reports. Many politicians, including Okudzeto Ablakwa, are infuriated that she has left the country without facing prosecution and punishment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe cannot create the impression that Ghana is some type of banana republic where you can come and commit crimes then be set free,\u201d Okudzeto Ablakwa said. \u201cI have permission from my party leadership to announce today that the future NDC government will trigger extradition processes for Aisha Huang to be brought back, face our laws and be prosecuted.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t think that will be difficult to happen? You suspect that China will support you to look for Aisha Huang should she be in the Chinese state?\u201d Newsfile\u2019s host Samson Lardy questioned.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe so,\u201d Okudzeto Ablakwa replied. \u201cWe will pursue it.\u201d<\/p>\n

In an exclusive interview on Joy FM\u2019s Super Morning Show Thursday, a former associate of Huang relived the horror of witnessing her shoot and kill a man in 2011.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was so afraid,\u201d Christian Addo Kuffuor said. He recalled Huang learned that a Chinese competitor was conducting business at one of her mining sites. When she found the competitor there one night, she casually loaded bullets in a rifle, fired multiple shots without flinching and left him for dead, he recounted.<\/p>\n

\u201cAisha can kill you easily,\u201d he said about the woman who many people \u201cfeared and hated.\u201d<\/p>\n
