"I Was NEVER Paid For That Video" - Shalimar Abbas FINALLY Speaks On Her Arrest, The New Force & Deportation From Ghana

In this powerful episode of Konnected Minds Podcast, Derrick Abaitey sits down with Shalimar Abbas - the former spokesperson of The New Force political movement - for her FIRST ON-RECORD interview in Ghana since her arrest, detention, and deportation. Shalimar opens up about everything: growing up as the "different kid" in Belgium, winning her first beauty pageant, falling in love with Ghana, her time at GHONE TV, the viral New Force video that changed her life, the call from immigration, 7 days in the National Intelligence Bureau cells, being abandoned by the movement she fronted, her ECOWAS court victory, and her powerful comeback as a diplomatic affairs advisor working with governments across Africa. This is a story of betrayal, faith, resilience, and redemption - and a side of the New Force saga the public has never heard before. 🎟️ KONNECTED MINDS LIVE 2026 — KUMASI Join 1,600+ young entrepreneurs and aspiring leaders at KNUST on the 9th of September.
