Aisha Huang,\u00a0a Chinese woman believed to be deeply engaged in illegal mining in Ghana was arrested earlier this month over her involvement in the galamsey, in spite of the country\u2019s clear laws that frowns on the practice.<\/p>\n
She together with four other Chinese Nationals with the support of Ghanaians, was reportedly mining in an area belonging to the Volta Resources Company Limited.<\/p>\n
Further details later emerged, suggesting Ms. Huang\u2019s notoriety in undertaking illegal small-scale mining in the country.<\/p>\n
It is reported that she is very influential and wields a lot of power due to the backing she receives from some high-profile state officers including top security personnel.<\/p>\n
It was later alleged that she had granted sexual favours to some of the top officials and continues to enjoy their support due to threats of blackmail if they attempt to expose her.<\/p>\n

Aisha Huang is currently in prison custody awaiting the next hearing of her case on May\u00a023, 2017.<\/p>\n

En Huang & 4 Others, the pressure group said the offenses laid and filed against the suspects did not match the severity of the crimes they committed.<\/p>\n
