Chinese officials were not informed prior to Aisha Huang’s deportation – Ablakwa reveals
Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has revealed that the Chinese ‘Galamsey’ kingpin Aisha Huang “was not physically handed over to relevant or competent Chinese authorities when she allegedly landed in China which is inconsistent with deportation protocols”.
He stated that in a painstaking investigation undertaken by him, the Chinese authorities had no knowledge of Aisha’s deportation due to the failure of Ghana’s government to communicate the same to the Chinese government.
“Chinese officials had no prior communication and were only informed by the Ghanaian government TWO DAYS AFTER Aisha Huang’s so-called deportation making it difficult for her to be tracked,” he said.
The lawmaker said the jettison done by the Nana Addo-led government in the kingpin’s initial crimes had nothing to do with the Chinese authorities threatening to withdraw their bilateral relations or support to Ghana.
“There is no available credible evidence suggesting that the Chinese government at any time appealed to their Ghanaian counterparts not to prosecute Aisha Huang or making her freedom a precondition for bilateral trade relations as former Senior Minister Yaw Osafo-Maafo recklessly claimed,” Ablakwa said.

Painstaking investigations into the Aisha Huang-Gate is leading to very explosive findings:
1) It has emerged that Aisha Huang was not escorted during her supposed deportation as international standard practice requires during such high profile deportations;
2) Aisha Huang was not physically handed over to relevant or competent Chinese authorities when she allegedly landed in China which is inconsistent with deportation protocols;
3) Chinese officials had no prior communication and were only informed by the Ghanaian government TWO DAYS AFTER Aisha Huang’s so-called deportation making it difficult for her to be tracked;
4) There is no available credible evidence suggesting that the Chinese government at anytime appealed to their Ghanaian counterparts not to prosecute Aisha Huang or making her freedom a precondition for bilateral trade relations as former Senior Minister Yaw Osafo-Maafo recklessly claimed.
The morbid fear of Aisha Huang by the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government cannot be opportunistically blamed on others. When Tanzania jailed Chinese Ivory Queen, Yang Fenglan in February 2019 for 15 years, it didn’t and hasn’t affected cordial China-Tanzania bilateral relations.
Ghana needs an immediate full-scale independent enquiry to unravel this mystery and to identify Aisha Huang’s collaborators in high places for swift sanctions.
