Lawyers for the spokesperson of the New Force Movement, Shalimar Abbiusi, say they will ensure that a compensation order given by an ECOWAS court against the government of Ghana is executed.
Miss Abbiusi was arrested and deported after allegedly using forged documents to obtain a residence permit as a student of the Ghana Christian University College.
Despite being granted bail and having charges dropped by the Ghana Immigration Service, she was rearrested and deported on December 20, 2023.
Her lawyer, Francis-Xavier Sosu stated that they will take all necessary steps to ensure compliance with the court’s decision.
“We are now going to have the judgement, God willing, by Monday, and then we will trigger the processes. And indeed, it wasn’t even so much even about the compensation, but the fact that how she was dealt with, how her person was dealt with, was a violation of her right to liberty. And then also quite apart from that, the manner in which she was deported left many unanswered questions.
“She had acquired some assets around and because of the manner in which she was deported, a lot of those things do not have any closure. But we are hoping that on the back of this decision, the various legal processes could be triggered for her to get not only compensation but also retrieve some of her belongings as well as her assets which are currently in limbo because she is not around to follow them.”
