American Woman Stranded in Pakistan After Online Romance; Son Reveals Her Mental Health Struggles
American citizen Onijah Andrew Robinson is facing difficulties in Pakistan after traveling to meet a 19-year-old Pakistani man, Nidal Ahmed Memon, whom she met online. However, upon her arrival, Memon refused to marry her and disappeared, leaving her stranded with limited resources.
Her son, Gareemyar Robinson, has revealed through a private TV channel that his mother struggles with mental health issues, which have affected her judgment and decision-making. He stated that she initially planned to return to the U.S. within 15 days but has now refused to leave despite efforts by Pakistani authorities to deport her due to an expired visa. Gareemyar and his brother only learned about their mother’s situation through media reports and have already booked a return ticket for her.
Pakistani authorities attempted to deport Onijah Andrew on Wednesday, but she declined to leave the country. She was later moved to the Chhipa head office in Karachi, where she has been provided with a separate room and free food.
The 33-year-old mother of two, a resident of New York, traveled to Karachi’s Garden West in pursuit of love. After running out of money, she has expressed her desire to stay in Pakistan and acquire citizenship.
