Galamsey kingpin, Aisha Huang, currently on trial for illegal mining activities, has denied any involvement in mining activities in her witness statement.

Despite being deported in 2018 and returning to Ghana illegally, Huang refutes the charges of engaging in illegal mining, also known as galamsey, without a license.

The state has presented 11 witnesses testifying to Huang's involvement in illegal mining in the Ashanti Region's Amansie South District.

However, Huang insists that her firm has never participated in mining activities and lacks a mining license, claiming the evidence presented by the prosecution is false.

In a related development, Huang Lei, Aisha Huang's son, was convicted and fined GH¢10,800 for overstaying his permit, possessing ammunition without lawful authority, and possessing forged official documents.

Huang Lei had initially pleaded not guilty but later changed his plea to guilty. He was sentenced by Justice Comfort Tasiame and ordered to be deported.
