VIDEO: Deported New Force spokesperson Shalimar Abbiusi back in Ghana?

Shalimar Abbiusi, a Belgian national and spokesperson for The New Force, has reportedly been seen in Ghana, particularly in the Ashanti Region, during the funeral of the late Daasebre Osei Bonsu II, the Mamponghene and Krontihene of Asanteman, held on June 7, 2025.

In a video shared by Graphic Online on its official Facebook page, Shalimar Abbiusi, who is also a well-known TV presenter and international spokesperson, appeared among other mourners at the funeral ceremony.

The video was captioned: “Shalimar Abbiusi, a Belgian and spokesperson for ‘The New Force,’ was spotted at the late Mamponghene’s funeral.”

Meanwhile, Abbiusi is currently engaged in a legal battle with the Republic of Ghana, demanding one million dollars in compensation for alleged violations of her human rights.

The case, which was filed on January 23, 2024, at the ECOWAS Court of Justice, has raised concerns about how state authorities treat individuals, especially foreigners.

Her legal team is being led by Francis-Xavier Sosu, a prominent human rights lawyer and Member of Parliament for Madina.

The suit outlines nine reliefs relating to alleged abuses and perceived injustices by Ghanaian authorities.

The legal action follows her detention and deportation by the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) in December 2023.

At the time, GIS officials accused Abbiusi of “obtaining for yourself a student permit by false declaration.”

Although the charges were eventually dropped, she was deported from Ghana, a move that attracted widespread criticism over possible human rights violations and lack of due process.

Unhappy with how the matter was handled, Abbiusi, with support from her lawyers, took legal steps against the Ghanaian state, claiming abuse of her rights and demanding justice and compensation.
