Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, Member of Parliament for North Tongu, has alleged that Aisha Huang, the galamsey kingpin was not escorted when Ghanaian authorities decided to deport her in 2018.
The Ranking Member on Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee, who had earlier questioned whether the Chinese woman was ever deported, was responding to reports of how records from the Ghana Immigration Service proved that Huang En or Aisha Huang was deported via an Ethiopian Airline Flight No. ET 920.
Describing Aisha Huang’s deportation in 2018 as a “shambolic attempt of a deportation” and a “charade” by the government, Ablakwa stated on Joy FM’s ‘Top Story’ on Monday, September 12, that due to the awkward manner of the deportation, the galamsey queenpin could have absconded during her transit to China.
“This whole charade of deportation has gone down as the most shambolic attempted deportation ever in world affairs. Do you know that this deportation took place without an escort? There was no escort…She could have really absconded when they transited to Addis Ababa.
“There is no guarantee that Aisha Huang did the full leg of the trip,” Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa noted, adding that, the Chinese government was only informed two days after the deportation had taken place.
“Is it a permanent deportation? Was it just for six months? Nobody knows not even the Chinese authorities,” he stated.
With this, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has reiterated his call for an independent investigation into Aisha Huang’s return to the country.
To him, the investigation will reveal those who are the accomplices of the galamsey kingpin so that, they can equally be dealt with by the law.
