The Executive Director of the African Center for Security and Counter-Terrorism, Mr Emmanuel Kutin, has called on the appointing authority to fire the Comptroller-General of the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS), Mr Kwame Asuah Takyi, over the second coming of Galamsey queen, Aisha Huang, into the country.

Aisha Huang was arrested and deported for engaging in illegal mining in 2019 but has returned to the country to engage in the same crime that led to her deportation.

She was re-arrested recently and facing two charges of mining without licence and engaging in the sale and purchase of minerals without a valid licence.

Her arrest has sent social media agog as people wonder how she gained access back into the country.

Some reports suggest she smuggled herself into Ghana through neighbouring Togo and acquired a Ghana card in February 2022 with a new name, Huang En.

Speaking on the Class Morning Show, today, Tuesday, 6 September 2022, Mr Kutin described the re-entry of Aisha Huang into the country as a national security threat and embarrassment.

He said: “The Immigration Service, I think the Comptroller should be fired if he is not thinking already of resigning, and I say this on principle”.

“It looks as if our security institutions have taken Ghanaians for granted; they must remember that we are in a democracy and they owe the people of Ghana the duty to explain to them THE circumstances leading to the resurfacing of Aisha into this country.”

In his view, “If [Ghana] were a properly functioning democracy, I think the Ghana Immigration Service should have even held a press conference yesterday, given Ghanaians details as to how this lady found her way back into the country after she was arrested; steps they have taken to make sure it doesn’t happen again, but as usual, Ghanaians have been treated with contempt because none of those things has even happened and there’s no indication from the Immigration Service that any of those approaches will be done to, at least, assure Ghanaians that this is what is happening and that they are on top of the issues…”
