Chinese galamsey queen, Aisha Huang‘s Ghanaian lawyer, Captain Nkrabea Effah Dartey, says his client is fully ensconced in Ghanaian society and describing her as a foreigner is unfair.
According to the former NPP Member of Parliament, Aisha owns a business here, is married and has a family here hence describing her as a flight risk is patently absurd as she absolutely wants to continue staying in Ghana.
“Aisha Huang loves Ghana and wants to be in Ghana and continue doing business here. She has a family in Ghana. To say that she is a foreigner and is a flight risk is unfair,” Effah Dartey is quoted to have said on Citi News as he continues to argue for her to be released on bail.
“My client is entitled to bail and since this virtual hearing denied her bail, my colleague lawyers and I are debating the next move which is most likely to repeat the application and if it is turned down, we will head to the Court of Appeal. We will press on till we get the bail.” he said.
