This is some deep sh*t. I do not even know what to believe in relation to Nasara’s theft allegation and story. Nasara, Ghana Most Beautiful 2009 is not only saying she did not steal any phone from Miss UK, but has not even been to UK , the place the action (theft) is said to have taken place.
I was preparing to reach her for an exclusive interview to bring her side of the story, but she has just spoken to Peacefm and as such there is no need for a second talk on this with her. I am therefore bringing to GC readers what Nasara told Peacefm….
Embattled beauty queen Nasara, (real name Mariam Abdul Rauf) winner of “Ghana’s Most Beautiful” 2009 pageant who has been stripped off her crown for allegedly stealing a mobile phone belonging to a fellow contestant Miss UK at the Miss Earth 2010, held in the Philippines, has made some revelation in an exclusive interview with peacefmonline.com.
Nasara who spoke with so much emotion, said TV3 Network, producers of “Ghana’s Most Beautiful” pageant who gave her the crown, the fame and all that comes with it have stabbed her in the back. According to her, when the “New Fylla” first brought out the story that she had stolen a phone, she spoke to her lawyers who were preparing to sue the paper for defaming her, but TV3 told her to put everything she was doing on hold.
“They said I shouldn’t go out or talk to any media house about the issue”, so she asked her lawyers to hold on, only to see a press release on the internet that her crown has been taken from her. She said TV3 never gave her an opportunity to listen to her side of the story “I don’t know why TV3 have done this. They didn’t call me to say my side. I saw it on facebook that my crown has been taken from me. I am very surprised, because TV3 have stabbed me in the back”, Nasara disclosed.
She added that Felix Odonto of TV3 Brands Department, called to meet her on Monday after they released a press statement, but she doesn’t intend to see him because the harm has already been done. Nasara who still has in her possession her crown, the car and cash prize, said as far as she was concerned she is still ‘Ghana’s Most Beautiful 2009’ because TV3 has still not told her anything, and they can’t base their on a false newspaper report.
She said, according to the press statement signed by the CEO of TV3 Ahmed Zaidi “She was involved in a phone theft in UK but that is not true because she has never even been to the UK.
TV3’s press statement also states that only her “crown will be taken away from her, but “she will retain all the prizes she received for winning the pageant, including the car”. But Nasara told peacefmonline.com that, that wouldn’t be necessary.
“If TV3 is taking the crown based on this absolutely false story, then they should as well take everything, the crown comes with the car, the Gh¢2000 cash prize and everything because there is no point having the car without the crown or anything else”, she emphasized.
Asked about the alleged stolen phone, she said “I am not going to ask any human being on earth to believe or not to believe me. This is between me and my God, and God knows that I have never stolen anybody’s phone, and I’m ok with that.
It is a big lie. I used Miss UK’s phone, she was angry because she said I over used it; I returned the phone and paid for it. Anybody who believes me, will believes me; what I will say will not change anything. It is just wrong information”.
Nasara who seemed a bit confused as to what to do next, because TV3 has betrayed her, said she was seeking legal advice for the next action to take but she believes the God who gave her ‘Ghana’s Most Beautiful’ crown will see her through-Source: PeaceFm
The Unedited Press Release From TV3
TV3 regrets to announce that in the light of certain recent revelations, involving the winner of TV3’s Ghana’s Most Beautiful 2009 Miss Nasara Mariam Abdul Rauf, it is officially parting ways with her.
The decision has come after a series of investigations and internal discussions. The Crown will automatically pass on to Miss Lamisi Sam Awinongya, the 1st runner up of Ghana’s Most Beautiful 2009.
It has not been easy for TV3 to arrive at such a course of action. This has however become necessary in order to maintain the integrity of and uphold the noble ideas of the TV3 Ghana’s Most Beautiful brand.
Miss Nasara, will, however, retain all the prizes that she received for winning the pageant, including the car.
TV3 wishes Miss Nasara well in all her future endeavours.
Thank you.

Hmmmm….to get stripped of your crown for purely allegations is crazy to me. Maybe there is more to the story then has been told to the public. I don’t this will ruin whatever career she is going for anyway, by this time next year, we will have all forgotten abt this.
The 2009 winner of TV3’s Ghana’s Most Beautiful pageant, Nasara Miriam Abdul Rauf may soon drag the organizers of the pageant, TV3, to the court to clear the air on allegations that she stole a phone belonging to Miss England when she participated in an international competition known as ‘Miss Earth’ in the Philippines.
TV3, on Sunday the 26th of June, stripped off Nasara’s title as the reigning queen of the Pageant and passed it on to the 1st runner up, Lamisi, following the scandalous allegations.
The 21 year old student of Zenith College has since denied the allegations and expressed disappointment at TV3’s decision to strip the title off her without checking the actual facts of the matter.
Speaking to citifmonline.com, Nasara’s Manager, Hafiz said the young lady is weighing her legal options and is considering taking legal actions against the TV station.
He however disclosed that any such action would be taken after she makes contact with Miss England, the contestant whose phone she reportedly stole. In his opinion, speaking to Miss England is essential to Nasara’s innocence and vindication.
“What we’re trying to do is to hear from Miss England because at the end of the day she plays a bigger role in all of this. I want to know what Miss England has to say, and then we would know what legal actions to take”.
Narrating the actual happenings of the story to Citifmonline.com, Hafiz dispelled the rumour that Nasara stole a phone but said however that, the Ghanaian beauty queen rather used the SIM card of Miss England’s phone without informing her.
He added that although he understands that TV3 must protect its reputation, the station is doing Miss Nasara Rauf great injustice because they are not stating the intricacies of the story as it really happened.
“It is obvious that TV3 is trying to protect their brand but the truth of the matter is that the girl didn’t take the phone and they should come out and say so”.
When asked how the Nasara was handling the whole affair he said “Obviously when anybody is faced with a situation like this, there’s nothing but shock. I personally think that Nasara is handling this very well because she’s kept her head up. She admits that she was wrong for using a SIM card that did not belong to her.”

truth is coming out lets see who is lying and who is denying everything i got a feeling another fucker at tv3 who is money hungry or was trying to go closer to her set her up
I believe Nasara. TV3 is so unproffesional. its no use to even give the crown to 1st runner up its fake.
And all this is becos of the stolen phone? I wonder what kind of phone it is, is it the new iphone4 or wat lol,, honestly am disappointed in her I rooted for during the competition, me thinks shes a pretty girl, but I guess her character brought her down. Btw am thinking of buying a phone, nd am debating btwn the iphone and blackberry, which one do y’all think is good and why?
@miss dior,go for both phone so with the bbm we can pin and iphone good for any application you wanna have and its portable
@miss dior,The iphone dey be………..there is an app for everything…….I love the language one……..and the touch screen…….
@Miss Dior, ur going off topic, I don’t think GC would care for that much trust me…but i will tell you blackberry, have had one for some time now, myself.
Back to the article, I agree, I think something isn’t right, there is more to be told, I guess all we can do is sit and wait to see if anything comes to light.
stupidity at its peak! only in Ghana.
if she didnt go uk hoow did she use miss uks fone?
@vine,gud question.was Miss UK in Ghana or they met somewhere?
@Opanin,they were roommates at the miss earth pageant held in phillipines
@onion,so the issue is not whether she was in UK or not but whether some fone got stolen? come with the answer for us Nasara.
@ opanin, i shock give her.she shld try anoda story cuz dis aint working
wow how can this be true ,she said she has not been to Uk and later said she used miss UK ‘s phone which she got angry b/cos she over used it.hmnnnnnnnn this must be something but miss GHANA if u did it tell us and we wont arrest u cos we love U.may be u are a disgrace to GHANA.
this is becoming very crazy, it’s like a love triangle, we’re not against Nasara, all we want is the truth.she says she’s never been to the UK, then she says she used Miss UKs fone.the question is where did they meet? was it at a pageant, if yes where? second, does she have a manager and did he pay any money to hush the issue? lastly, wht actually transpired between her n Miss UK. we were not der so who brought such an issue out to the public?
for TV3, it’s better for them to come out n tell us the investigations they claim they did n the outcome b4 arriving at the decision to strip Nasara of her crown.for once lets put all the cards on the table for Ghanaians to knw the truth.their integrity and the integrity of the programmes they run are at stake her. over to you TV3(apologies to Joe Lartey).
nasara, u dont wori by God’s grace all ur foes will be put 2 shame. tv3 is wack!
she said they met at philliines and not uk. They went for miss earth pageant.
I’M A BIT CONFUSE HERE. WAS MISS UK IN GHANA. BECAUSE I’M FINDING IT DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND THIS PART OF THE PUBLICATION – “It is a big lie. I used Miss UK’s phone, she was angry because she said I over used it; I returned the phone and paid for it. Anybody who believes me, will believes me; what I will say will not change anything. It is just wrong information”.
CAN GC GET SOME CLARIFICATION FOR US?
JUST SUE TV3 AND THE TRUTH WILL COME OUT.
Bullcrap. TV3 is a reputable institution. They have a reputation to protect. TV3 wouldn’t act on mere rumor, they know the implication of their action if they become reckless. Nasara is guilty and must admit the truth. She stole the phone and must come clean. TV3 wouldn’t go to this extent to hurl mud at her if she isn’t really guilty. Nasara must humble herself and withdraw to oblivion, just like the former speaker of Parliament did. lol
can sum1 tell this bitch to shut da fuck up?shut up nasara hw can u take sum1´s sim card frm her fon without telling her…..what is da truth in what she is saying….charity they say begins at home……fuckin smoker
AND WHO ARE THOSE SAYING DA THIEF SHLD SUE TV3?U GUYS SHLD STOP CHATING SHIT…..THE FON RANG IN HER BAG, SHE STOLD IT AND TRIED PAYING 4…..NONSENCE
@y pono, you hv said d truth. she really stoled the phone.
let tv3 and other media house call miss uk to find out where the ladies actually met before we can conclude that she actually stole the phone or not.
No wonder in ghana people are not afriad of any thing cos the courts are not helping us otherwise nassara will be a millionaire if this happans is the states.
my advice to nassara. if you are 100% sure you have not stolen any phone then please take tv3 to court sue then and get some big money for your self its a very big opportunity for you to be rich. please do it.
( NO FAMA NYAME SYNDROME ) Take action & you will win.
