A High Court in Accra has remanded into prison custody Aisha Huang,\u00a0the Chinese woman believed to be deeply engaged in illegal mining, and four other Chinese nationals till May\u00a023, 2017.<\/p>\n
The court said it could not trust that Aisha and the four other Chinese nationals would make themselves available to immigration authorities if released on bail.<\/p>\n
The remand of the five Chinese nationals followed an application by lawyers of the Immigration Service, who told the court they were still carrying out investigations, hence the need for the five to be kept behind bars.<\/p>\n
The five have not been charged with any crimes, but the lawyers for the immigration service argued that, releasing them could compromise their investigations.<\/p>\n
Lawyers for the five however argued that, the immigration service did not need to keep their clients behind bars, since\u00a0they had all the required logistics to carry out any investigation without the five on remand.<\/p>\n
