The Accra District Magistrate Court on Monday ordered the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) and the NATIONAL Security to release the passport of Vanetta Fosua Opoku, to enable her to travel back to the USA.
Ms Opoku, a Ghanaian based in the USA, was detained at the Kotoka International Airport and her passport seized by the GIS upon her arrival on October 12, 2020, following an ex-parte order obtained by her husband, Raymond Yankey Blay, a USA citizen, who currently lives in Ghana.
Blay and Ms Opoku are in court over a case for custody, child support and protection that had already been settled by the Court of Common Please of Delaware County, Pennsylvania, Civil Action, Law on June 22, 2012.
