The Ghana Immigration Service has revoked Shalimar Abbuissi’s resident status, allowing her to remain in the country.
According to the Immigration Service, she is scheduled to be repatriated later today.
Shalimar Abuissi, who appeared in the movement’s campaign video, was accused of acquiring a student residence permit through false statement.
The state prosecutor dismissed all accusations against her today in court.
The court also ordered that the National Investigations Bureau (NIB) return Ms. Abuissi’s iPhone 13 Pro, which was taken during her detention, because nothing incriminating was discovered after a comprehensive search.
Ms. Abuissi, on the other hand, was detained outside the courthouse by the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS).
This caused an uproar between her legal representation and the Immigration authorities who had arrived to take her away.
Her continuous stay in Ghana is unlawful, according to the Immigration Service, and she will be deported later today.
Ms. Abuissi’s parents were left sobbing as their daughter was driven away in an Immigration Service vehicle.
In a press statement issued by New Forces on December 7, Ms. Abbiusi’s previous court challenges raise severe concerns about power abuse, persecution of perceived political opponents, and repeated human rights breaches.
Meanwhile, the Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram, Sam Nartey George has called on the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) to investigate the person funding the erection of billboards advertising the Third Force Movement which are dotted all over the country.
According to him, the GRA must investigate and find out if the person behind the billboards has duly filed his or her taxes.
“Somebody has money that maybe the GRA should be investigating. Who is doing that (paying for huge billboards). The GRA should investigate the person who is putting up those billboards. How did he pay for it? If he shows that he or she paid for it, the GRA should see what their tax filings have been for the year.”
Sam George went further to slam the Third Force which he described as fraud for using a Belgian as the face of the movement when there were equally qualified Ghanaian youth.
“You want to be the third force in Ghana and the face of your movement is a Belgian who used forged documents to come to Ghana, are you serious? It means that from the get-go, the whole Third Force movement is a fraud, it is a publicity stunt and we should throw it away. If we get a proper third force that is a proper conversation we should have but not this publicity stunt.
“People should not ride on the desperation of young people of our country to become worse. We want a third force which is credible. How can the face of the third force, a movement that should represent Ghanaian youth be a foreigner? Are we saying that of all the millions of Ghanaian youth in this country, none is eloquent enough to have been a PR person? That person does not believe in Ghanaians, whoever he or she is doesn’t believe in the efficacy and ability of Ghanaian youth. Anybody who doesn’t trust the Ghanaian youth should be seen as a joker,” he told Starr FM.
