The High Court Judge presiding over the galamsey trial of galamsey queen Aisha Huang, Justice Osei Marfo, has warned her against crying in court.
Aisha Huang broke down in court when the Director of Public Prosecution, Yvonne Attakorah Obuobisa, accused her of intentionally returning to Ghana without the Comptroller General’s consent after her deportation for illegal mining offenses.
Aisha Huang informed the court that she was not given any information about when she could return to the country after her deportation, so she made the decision to come back to Ghana after spending several years in China.
With tears welled up in her eyes, she began to cry hysterically in open court but was cut short by Justice Osei Marfo.
“Stop the interjection with the tears. It doesn’t do anything to me. The question is harmless, just answer and go.
“Today should be the last time you’re crying in my court. If you want to cry, cry in prison before you come to my court. If she cries again it is deliberate. So I don’t expect her to cry again,” Justice Lydia Osei Marfo ordered.
The cross examination of Aisha Huang is still ongoing.
