Court observers were stunned by the sudden collapse of one of the accomplices of Aisha Huang during proceedings on Wednesday (September 14).
Aisha is being held on charges of the sale and purchase of minerals in Accra without a license and engaging in illegal mining without a license.
During the proceedings, something seemed off about one of her accomplices.The said lady was earlier seen escorted into the court premises wearing a black T-shirt.
A few minutes before the ruling was delivered by the judge, the Chinese national is said to have suddenly collapsed.
Joy News reported that she purportedly took ill and was conveyed to a hospital.
“Before we realised, she had just collapsed and had to be taken by the policemen and rushed out to the hospital,” a court correspondent was quoted as saying.
She was however remanded despite her absence for the rest of the session as prosecutors got the court to extend a warrant of arrest permitting them to hold Aisha for at least two weeks while they carry out further investigations.
This was after their request for bail was turned down.Lead Counsel for the accused, Nkrabea Effah Dartey, questioned the state’s decision to repatriate Miss Huang in 2018.
He described her alleged offences as minor ones which he was prepared to defend only to have her deported in circumstances he considers strange.
“The law did not disclose that the Parliament of Ghana had passed any law to declare her a persona non-grata. The law does not show that there was any executive order to have her deported. She was told to come for a meeting and the next thing I heard, she had been flown out.”
