Deported New Force spokesperson Shalimar Abbiusi allegedly spotted at Mamponghene’s funeral
Shalimar Abbiusi, a Belgian national and spokesperson for The New Force, has allegedly been spotted in Ghana, specifically in the Ashanti Region, during the funeral of the late Daasebre Osei Bonsu II, the Mamponghene and Krontihene of Asanteman, on June 7, 2025.
In a video shared by Graphic Online, a national newspaper’s official Facebook page, Shalimar Abbiusi, a renowned TV presenter and international spokesperson, could be seen among other mourners at the funeral.
The video was captioned; “Shalimar Abbiusi, a Belgian and spokesperson for ‘The New Force,’ was spotted at the late Mamponghene’s funeral”.
Meanwhile, Abbiusi has filed a lawsuit against the Republic of Ghana, seeking one million dollars in compensation for what she claims were violations of her human rights.
The lawsuit, filed on January 23, 2024, at the ECOWAS Court of Justice, raises serious concerns about the treatment of individuals by state authorities.
Francis-Xavier Sosu, a human rights lawyer and Member of Parliament for Madina, is leading the legal team representing the 30-year-old Belgian.
The suit seeks nine reliefs related to alleged human rights abuses and perceived injustices.
It stems from her detention and subsequent deportation by the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) in December 2023.
At the time, GIS officials charged Abbiusi with “obtaining for yourself a student permit by false declaration”.
The charges were later dropped, and she was deported, sparking widespread concerns over human rights violations and due process.
Dissatisfied with the circumstances surrounding her arrest, deportation, and the overall handling of the case, Abbiusi, on the advice of her legal team, initiated legal proceedings against the Ghanaian state, seeking compensation for what she terms as an abuse and injustice.
