Shalimar Abbiusi, spokesperson of New Force, deported

Shalimar Abbuissi, a spokesperson for the New Force, a new political movement in the country, has been deported.

Abbiusi, a Belgian national was duly repatriated on Tuesday (19 December 2023) at 9.30pm via Brussels Airlines.

She was the last passenger to board the flight under escort. The move comes after the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) revoked her permit.

She was deported after being arraigned last week for allegedly presenting false documents as a student of the Ghana Christian University College, in order to obtain a residence permit.

The case was expected to go to full trial on Tuesday (19 December) after Abbiusi was granted bail in the sum of GHC20,000.00 last week.

But when the case was presented in court, prosecutors from the immigration service led by ACI Adolf Aboagye Asenso told the court that they had instructions to withdraw the case.
