She was accompanied by Philanthropist and social worker Ramzan Chhipa who requested a young Pakistani man to visit an American woman claiming to be his wife so as to resolve the matter.
Onijah Robinson came to meet Nidal Ahmed Memon who later abandoned her, saying his family did not agree to their marriage. His whereabouts are currently unknown, according to Arab News.
Subsequently, Sindh Governor Kamran Khan Tessori intervened to extend her expired visa and arrange a flight home. However, she refused to return home, SHO Kaleem Khan Moosa said.
In a press conference on Friday, Chhipa urged Memon to come to his charity’s headquarters to meet with the woman and resolve the issue as soon as possible.
“She left her home and family because of the boy, so if the family or the boy are listening, please come immediately and I will help you resolve this issue. Ask for forgiveness, regardless of the matter. You can only resolve things by talking to her,” the philanthropist said.
It is unclear if Robinson and Memon are actually married.
During the press conference, Robinson said she wanted to “fix up” and “reconstruct” the Chhipa building before getting up and claiming she was going to meet her husband.
When a reporter asked what her plan was, she retorted, “It’s none of your business.”
“My plan is to reconstruct this whole country. I am asking for $100k, [and] I need $20k by this week in my pocket in cash. That’s a demand to this government. The government is going to fix up these streets […] It’s ridiculous out here. I do not like it. I need you guys to understand that Pakistan is in need of new buses, cabs, cars. Please listen to what I’m saying, my name is Onijah Ahmed.”
“Respect to the law, respect for the law, respect for Allah and respect for God. Do you hear me?” Robinson said.
“Pakistan needs to be reconstructed the right way. I am married to Nidal Ahmed, I am Onijah Ahmed. We will move to Dubai soon and have our babies in Dubai,” she said, and she proceeded to list her American family members with whom she would be shifting to the UAE.
“They [her family] will be rich. This city will be reconstructed and fixed right away. I am asking the government for $100k, I will do real estate and my husband will own it in Karachi. We will not live here but we will get this done.” Robinson clarified that the amount would go back into the city, not into her pocket, before adding that she wanted $20,000 for herself.
In reply to if she would stay in Pakistan or go back to the United States, she said that she would take them to Dubai. Another reporter questioned where her family was, to which Robinson said it was a private matter and against her religion — Islam — to divulge the information.
Meanwhile, police sources claimed that Memon had been taken into custody by intelligence agencies four days ago, while his family had already vacated their residence.
