The Ghana Immigration Service has explained why it arrested and later repatriated Ms. Shalimar Abbuisi, a Belgian national and spokesperson of The New Force, a new political group in Ghana.
GIS in chronicling events leading to the widely condemned action, says among other things, Ms. Shalimar Abbuisi’s residence permit was revoked by “the Comptroller-General pursuant to Section 20 (2)(a) of Immigration Act,2000, Act 573 as she had obtained the students’ permit by fraudulent misrepresentation”, and that “Per the law, Ms Shalimar Abbiusi could not remain in Ghana and the Comptroller-General ordered her removal from the country.
“Consequently, she was repatriated on the 19th of December, 2023 aboard Air Brussels Flt. No. SN 319 back to her home country.”
