An Accra High Court has issued a bench warrant for the arrest of Deborah Seyram Adablah, the young woman at the centre of a high-profile sexual harassment lawsuit involving senior banker, Ernest Kwesi Nimako.
Seyram Adablah, a social media influencer, who gained notoriety in 2023 after suing her alleged “sugar daddy,” Ernest Nimako, for breach of promise, claimed the banker failed to fulfil certain financial and material commitments made during their intimate relationship.
Among her demands were monetary compensation and ownership of a Honda Civic gifted to her.
On May 16, 2023, the court ordered Adablah to hand over the vehicle with registration number GC 7899-23 to the court registrar for safekeeping until the case’s final determination.
However, reports indicate she has defied this order.
In a new development, the High Court has issued a bench warrant for her arrest on grounds of contempt.
According to GHOne TV, the warrant was issued after Selorm Adablah released two videos on social media in which she launched scathing attacks on the judiciary, particularly targeting the presiding judge, Justice John Bosco Nabarese.
In the videos, she accused the judge of favouritism and unprofessional conduct.
“This Judge John Bosco Nabarese said they needed seven days for the judgment to be effective if I had failed to deliver the vehicle as Judge Olivia Owusu had ordered. But he refused to set it aside and now he’s claiming my lawyers insulted him,” she alleged.
She went on to openly challenge the judge, saying, “You, Judge John Bosco, what they did was wrong but you’re not allowing them to bring the car back. You are joking. What is preventing you from doing the right thing?”
Adablah further warned the judge to be fair in his rulings or “face her wrath,” making a controversial statement, “be ready to dance to this drum you are beating. You cannot be sitting there, chopping salaries that are coming from my menstruation and still sideline me.”
She also questioned the integrity of Ghana’s judiciary and dismissed the contempt proceedings as meaningless.
“That contempt case is dead on arrival. I try to advise others not to go to court because I know the system but always remember: the judiciary is an arm on its own, but one full of spirits. So, we shall see.”
She concluded by vowing to appeal the judgment, adding, “as an old man, you should be retiring in peace, not carrying young spirits with you but since you’ve chosen that path, you will carry them.”
The court has since ordered her to appear and explain why she should not be held in contempt.
