A case filed against Ernest Kwasi Nimako by “side chick” Deborah Seyram Adablah was dismissed by an Accra High Court.
On Tuesday, November 28, the court decided that there was no merit to the case, having acknowledged that Deborah Seyram Adablah had not presented any substantial issues in her lawsuit.
Following their argument before the court that Seyram Dablah had not disclosed any plausible cause of action and that “the contract she was seeking to enforce, if at all, was a legal contract,” Kwasi Nimako’s attorneys took this action.
Deborah Adablah filed a lawsuit against Ernest Kwasi Nimako, the First Atlantic Bank’s chief financial officer, alleging that he had broken a catering agreement.
Seyram Adablah, wearing a grey blazer and a navy blue pencil skirt, showed up in court on Thursday morning accompanied by her attorney. She looked determined.
The case was adjourned by Presiding Judge Olivia Obeng Owusu, who instructed the attorneys of both parties to file their submissions.
But lawyers for First Atlantic Bank requested that the bank’s name be withdrawn from the lawsuit which the former national service personnel had dragged alongside the first defendant, Ernest Nimako.
In an application dated January 24, First Atlantic Bank requested that seven paragraphs of the writ be dismissed “on the ground that they disclose no reasonable cause of action against the applicant”.
Paragraphs 7,8,9,10,11,31,32,33,34,36 and 37 which were requested to be excluded comprise portions of the writ that accuse the bank of watching on for female workers being harassed sexually by senior male officers of the bank.
Deborah Seyram Adablah is seeking an order from the court to direct the defendant, Ernest Kwasi Nimako to transfer the title of a car he had bought for her but had taken it back into her name, as well as return it.
She alleges in her suit dated January 23, 2023, that her ‘sugar daddy’ agreed to buy her a car, pay for her accommodation for three years, give her a monthly stipend of GH¢3,000, marry her after divorcing his wife and also give her a lump sum to start a business.
But things turned awry after Mr Nimako took the car from her one year after she used it and also paid only one year of the accommodation fee instead of three.
