The Chinese ‘galamsey kingpin’ is back in Ghana and has been re-arrested for engaging in illegal mining in the Ashanti Region.
She is reported to have sneaked into the country with a Togo Visa.
Aisha and her three accomplices were, on September 2, charged with engaging in the sale and purchase of minerals without a license.
They have since been remanded into police custody and are set to re-appear in court on September 14, 2022.
Meanwhile, A member of Parliament's Mines and Energy Committee has challenged government to ensure Aisha Huang's prosecution is followed through to its finality
According to Edward Bawa, this would serve as a deterrent to other foreigners who are desirous of engaging in illegal mining.
The National Democratic Congress Member of Parliament for Bongo Constituency urged the government to demonstrate seriousness in prosecuting her this time around.
"... she knows that she will come and when they arrest her worst-case scenarios she will use her network to find a way of freeing herself.
That's why she could dare to come back to this country. So I just hope that this time Aisha Huang would be used as an example to other foreigners who engage in these things in our country," Edward Bawa told Joy FM
