Deborah Seyram Adablah, a former employee of the National Service, filed a lawsuit against First Atlantic Bank and its former chief financial officer, Ernest Kwasi Nimako, alleging sexual harassment. The Accra High Court has dismissed the lawsuit.

Deborah Seyram Adablah, a young woman who sued former First Atlantic Bank Chief Financial Officer Ernest Kwasi Nimako, received a cost award of GH6,000 from the High Court in Accra.

Following a motion submitted by First Atlantic Bank’s attorneys, the court, presided over by Justice Olivia Obeng Owusu, today, Friday, July 21, struck out First Atlantic Bank’s name from the complaint.

Adablah’s attorney pleaded with the court and the Plaintiff offered to pay GH5,000 in response to the bank’s attorneys’ request for a cost award of GH50,000.

Lawyers for the Plaintiff, Deborah Seyram Adablah, filed a move to quash the court’s decision for execution and order for the preservation of the car, which is one of the issues in contention, on June 15, 2023.

However, the main matter is still pending because so many interim applications have prevented it from moving further.

On the other hand, Ernest Kwasi Nimako has submitted a temporary application to incarcerate Adablah for contempt.

The plaintiff is asking the court to issue an order telling the “sugar daddy” to give her the car back and change the title to her name.

As per the agreement between the plaintiff and the defendant, she is also requesting that the court compel the defendant to pay her the lump sum. This will allow her to “start a business to take care of herself.”

Another remedy would be for the court to direct the “sugar daddy” to pay the remaining two years’ worth of accommodations as per their prior arrangement.

She requests once more that the court compel the defendant to cover her medical costs due to a “side effect of a family planning treatment” that the defendant advised her to undergo in order to avoid becoming pregnant.

The plaintiff, Adablah, filed a lawsuit alleging sexual harassment against the bank and Ernest Kwesi Nimako, a former chief financial officer.

Following the incident, the Bank had asked for its name to be removed from the complaint the former NSS employee had filed.
