Universe Ghana, 19-year-old Hanniel Jamin, has sued
Roberta Annan Consulting (RAC), organisers of the pageant in
Ghana, for breach of contract.
Hanniel, after winning the pageant in May 2013, was to receive
GH¢5,000 worth of wardrobe, a New York Film Academy
scholarship, a management and public relations deal, and a
year’s gym membership, monthly fees and a trip to the world
event in addition to other attractive packages.
However, she says she has not received her full prize
package. She also alleged that when she was processing her
documents to travel to Russia to represent Ghana at the Miss
Universe World event, the organizers made her sign a
document which suggested she had received her prizes.
Hanniel was in May 2013 crowned winner of the 2013 edition
of the Miss Universe Ghana pageant at a ceremony held at the
La Palm Royal Beach Hotel in Accra.
Judges for the event were Leila Lopez, 2011 Miss Universe
winner; popular actress Yvonne Nelson; presenter Benny
Blanco; Brian D. Hogan, founder of investment firm Paradigm
Capital Group; and model Veronica Varekova.
Sources revealed that organizers were served with the writ
sometime last week. This is the second time a queen had
taken organizers of the Miss Universe Ghana to court over the
prize package.
The first was Miss Gifty Ofori, Miss Universe Ghana 2012, who
took the organizers to court last year after she came out to
complain that she did not receive her full prize package.
