The Accra High Court has jailed Deborah Seyram Adablah, a former National Service personnel in a lawsuit with banking executive Ernest Kwasi Nimako for forty-five days.
Deborah Seyram Adablah’s jailed sentence follows a bench warrant being issued against her by the Accra High Court over comments she made about judge, John Bosco.
She was sentenced to 45 days in Nsawam prison for defaming the court after she accused the judge of bias and unethical conduct.
She questioned the integrity of Ghana’s judiciary, and described the contempt proceedings as “dead on arrival.”
The former NSS personnel it will be recalled filed a lawsuit against her former partner, Ernest Kwasi Nimako, a banking executive.
Deborah Seyram Adablah accused him of breaching promises made during their intimate relationship.
According to her, Ernest Kwasi Nimako failed to fulfil promises made during their relationship which included lump sum working capital, rent of 3 years, a car, monthly allowances, a ring, and financial support for medical bills and family planning.
The court in 2023 threw out the case after ruling that the relationship was based on an immoral and illegal act ruling Deborah Seyram Adablah, awarding costs and ordering her to return the disputed vehicle.
The court on May 16, 2023 ordered Deborah Seyram Adablah to surrender the vehicle but reports suggest she defied the orders of the court.
Deborah Adablah had earlier reacted to a court bench warrant against her saying, “A fan just reached me with this screenshot and it’s funny because this is the same bench warrant, I have been fighting for since the beginning of the brouhaha of my case.
From petitioning against the judge on my case and the police disrespecting his orders… I never knew there was a bench warrant, but it has been issued against me,” she said.
She added, “I’m not going to run away. I will present myself before the court because I am a bona fide Ghanaian. I won’t run from anyone or any case,” she asserted.
“This judge, John Bosco, claims I insulted him because I spoke against a ruling in which he admitted the execution was wrongly done but still refused to set aside the application. I simply advised everyone to be cautious about their workplaces,” she said.
“I’m menstruating, and we buy pads all the time. It’s taxpayers’ money that pays government officials, and they’re sidelining us when we need help. I won’t keep quiet about it. If this is what the judge considers an insult, then we should all sit down and point out what exactly the insults are”, she added.
