Onijah Andrew Robinson, who is in Pakistan searching for her alleged husband, Nidal Ahmed Memon, launched her own cryptocurrency, $ONIJAH, which is currently being tracked on the market.

Robinson, 33, landed at Jinnah International Airport, Karachi, on October 11 to meet her Karachi-based alleged husband, Nidal, 19, but he abandoned her.

Subsequently, due to concerns about her mental stability, she was transferred to the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC), where she has been receiving treatment for a week.

Her exit permit was extended on January 27 after she refused to leave Pakistan despite her initial 30-day permit expiring.

According to immigration officials, the woman's 15-day exit permit will expire on February 11.

Speaking to a journalist at JPMC, she revealed her entry into the crypto market with her own digital currency.

“I would like to say I am launching a bitcoin under Onijah, but it would run under Nidal Ahmed,” she said.

The cryptocurrency tracking website GeckoTerminal showed that $ONIJAH was gaining traction in the market.

Furthermore, Onijah expressed her satisfaction with her treatment in Pakistan and extended her gratitude to SHO Shabana Jilani.

“Shabana has been taking care of me and everybody, this is my team,” she added while refusing to disclose her plans for returning home, adding, "It's private, but I do not have a plan to go. I am from Pakistan now."

Notably, Robinson has overstayed her visa in Pakistan for at least two months despite her permit having expired. Earlier, she expressed intentions to return home, but in a recent interview, she avoided revealing any details about her departure.
