Miss Universe Ghana 2013 Hanniel Jamin Sues Organizers
20-year old Hanniel Jamin who won the Miss Universe Ghana title in 2013 at 19, is suing the organizers – Roberta Annan Consulting (RAC) for breach of contract.
Hanniel and RAC presented their cases at a Ghanaian court on Thursday 17th April 2014.
Hanniel was to receive a New York Film
Academy scholarship, a GH¢5,000 wardrobe allowance, a management and
public relations deal, monthly fees, a year’s gym membership and a trip
to the world event – which took place in Russia.
Although Hanniel, who is half-Nigerian
(her mom), represented her country at the beauty competition, she says
she still hasn’t received the other packages.
A source in Ghana says that Hanniel
was asked to sign a document under duress that she has received
her
packages, just before leaving Ghana for Russia. She had no witness or
lawyer at the signing and her passport was allegedly seized.
The source also states that the 2012 winner also took the organizers to court on the same issue.
