“I picked information that sometime last night, she was being escorted to board the Brussels Airline to Belgium. But clearly, this is so shameful and disgraceful.

“Because she was not deported from Ghana and there was no deportation order by the Minister but an Executive Instrument. So holding her and even denying her access to her lawyers and even her Family and escorting her with men in uniform was a violation,” Mr. Sosu said in an interview with Citi FM.

The parents of Ms. Abbiusi are currently residing in Ghana but it is unclear whether there are issues with their stay as well.
