A Kumasi High Court on Thursday ruled against four Chinese nationals involved in illegal mining activities on a 40-acre land of Obuasi-based Seidu Fanzia School.
The court ruled against the four – Wen Shi Li, Huang Shen Jun, Li De Hao and Lan Hai Song – for using fraudulent means to validate their stay and working without the required permits. The court, therefore, ordered their deportation.
However, the plaintiffs will appeal the ruling by the High Court on their deportation as they are unsatisfied with the Court’s failure to grant some reliefs, including monetary compensation and reclamation of land destroyed through illegal mining.

A One District, One Factory (1D1F) project in the Obuasi Municipality, LEAPAB, which is into oil palm processing, is facing imminent collapse following the invasion of its oil palm plantation by alleged illegal miners.
Part of the 1,000-acre land that was leased by the Adanse Traditional Council to the company to grow oil palm to feed the factory has been invaded by illegal miners who have already destroyed large portions of the plantation.
The management of the company has expressed fears over the current development, saying it would derail the company’s plans and affect its ability to pay back credit it took to establish the processing plant and the farms.
