Court throw out ‘Side Chick’ case, slaps Seyram Adablah with GH¢10k cost

The Accra High Court dismissed the complaint Deborah Seyram Adablah, a young woman, made alleging sexual harassment against a former chief financial officer of a bank.

Judge John Bosco Nabarese oversaw the court's ruling today, Nov. 28, finding that insufficient evidence supported Adablah's case even though the former CFO's relationship with Adablah was morally abhorrent and against social norms.

A partnership built on immoral behavior was hesitant to be approved by the court because of the decision that “you cannot recover the price of something you have committed into an immoral act.”

As a consequence, Seyram Adablah has been ordered to pay a fine of GH¢10,000.

This ruling is in response to an application that the former Chief Financial Officer submitted asking the court to reject Adablah's claim.

Seyram Adablah filed a lawsuit on January 23, 2023, alleging that her “sugar daddy,” Ernest Kwasi Nimako, had promised her several things.

Nimako allegedly promised to buy her a car, pay for her housing for three years, give her a GH¢3,000 monthly allowance, marry her after divorcing his wife, and give her a lump sum to launch a business.

Adablah argued that even though Nimako was the original owner of the car, he took it back from her after just a single year, denying her access to it.

She also said that although Nimako had promised to pay for three years, he had only paid for one year's worth of lodging needs.

Adablah filed a lawsuit, requesting a court order compelling Nimako to give Adablah back ownership of the car and title it in her name.

In addition, she asked the court to order Nimako to pay the agreed-upon lump sum for launching a business and to pay for her medical bills associated with a family planning procedure he suggested.
