Deborah Seyram Adablah, who sued First Atlantic Bank and its former Chief Finance officer over sexual harassment has been slapped with GH¢6,000 cost after setting the bank free from the case.
Lawyers of First Atlantic Bank had filed a motion asking the court to strike out its name from the case. On July 21, 2023, the court presided over by Justice Olivia Obeng Owusu granted the request.
Due to several interim applications impeding the proceedings, the substantive lawsuit is currently pending.
Currently, Deborah’s lawyer has filed an interim application asking the court to set aside the court’s order asking her to hand over the car to the court’s registry while Nimako on the other hand has filed an interim application to commit her to prison for contempt.
Background:
Deborah Seyram Adablah’s suit, filed on Monday, January 23, 2023, alleges that Ernest Kwasi Nimako, whom she refers to as her “sugar daddy,” made several promises to her. According to the plaintiff, Nimako agreed to buy her the car, pay for her accommodation for three years, provide a monthly stipend of GH¢3,000, marry her after divorcing his wife, and offer a lump sum to start a business.
The plaintiff claims that although the car was initially registered in Nimako’s name, he later took it back, depriving her of its use after just a year. Additionally, she asserts that Nimako paid for only one year of accommodation, despite promising to cover three years.
The plaintiff is seeking an order from the court directed at the “sugar daddy” to transfer the title of the car into her name, and also give her back the car.
She is also asking the court to order the defendant to pay her the lump sum to enable “her to start a business to take care of herself as agreed by the plaintiff and the defendant.”
