Onijah Andrew 'leaves' Karachi for US after four months

Onijah Andrew Robinson, an American woman who came to Karachi from America in love with a Pakistani boy, returned to the United States after 120 days (4 months).

The American woman is traveling on a foreign airline flight EK 603, which will arrive in the United States via Dubai.

Onijah Andrew Robinson, a US citizen living in New York, came to Karachi on a one-month tourist visa to Pakistan in love with a young man on October 11, after the visa expired, the woman was supposed to leave Karachi by November 10, but she did not return and remained stranded in Karachi for several months.

When she attempted to enter Karachi’s airport in mid-January, security stopped her, and she was handed over to the Airport Security Force (ASF), then transferred to airport police.

On January 27, following intervention from the Sindh Governor, an Exit Permit was granted for 15 days. A welfare organization arranged her return ticket to the US, and efforts were made to send her back on January 29.

However, after completing all airport procedures, she refused to board the flight, complaining to the airline staff, which led to her being offloaded.
