Miss Universe Ghana, Hanniel Jamin off to Russia for Miss Universe finals

Contrary to media reports that Hanniel Jamin, winner of Miss Universe Ghana 2013, would not be representing Ghana in the Miss Universe pageant finals, she left Ghana on Tuesday night for Russia, where the world finals would be staged.

The speculations started when the 19-year old posted on Facebook an alleged plan to replace her with another person at the finals in Russia. She wrote: “Someone is trying to impersonate me, Hanniel Jamin by representing me as the Miss Universe Ghana 2013 at the Miss Universe Int’l 2013 pageant in Moscow Russia….

Now I see why I was kidnapped on the 3rd of September 2013.Please Miss Universe Organization Worldwide, Pageantology, Missosology, Russian Embassy, Ghanaian and Russian Immigration, and the Media please take note,”

She also alleged that one of her runners-up was trying to take her place at the international finals: “No matter how hard ‘you’ the Miss Universe Ghana 2013 beauty pageant runner-up tries to take my place, you will never succeed, you will always remain my runner-up besides you can never steal my position because I will make sure you and the people manipulating things are jailed. Hmmm now I understand why my passport has been seized by the so-called manipulators since 2 months and my visa has not yet been processed.”

Before leaving the Kotoka International Airport, Hanniel Jamin apologized for the confusion at a brief press interaction. She said: “ On behalf of RAC (Roberta Annan Consultancy) and Miss Universe Ghana, we want to apologize for all that confusion. We want to state that I, Hanniel Jamin, Miss Universe Ghana will be representing Ghana in Russia and not any other person.”

The 62nd edition of the Miss Universe pageant will be taking place in Russia for the first time at Crocus City Hall on Russia on November 9. The show is divided into two stages: November 5-Preliminary Show and November 9-Final.
