An Accra High Court has ordered Deborah Seyram Adablah, an unemployed former National Service person, to hand over a Honda Civic vehicle at the centre of a civil suit she filed against ‘sugar daddy,’ Ernest Kwasi Nimako, who she claimed sexually harassed her.
The court, presided over by Justice Olivia Obeng Owusu, ordered her to hand over the vehicle to the Registrar of the Court until the final determination of the suit filed in January this year.
The plaintiff was also ordered by the court to hand over all documents relating to the vehicle to the Registrar for safe keeping until the case was determined.
The lady would now have to surrender the vehicle which hitherto the court’s order she was driving to court whenever the case came up.
Justice Owusu also ordered both the plaintiff and defendant to desist from making any publication on the matter either on social or traditional media during its pendency in court.
This order followed an application filed by counsel for Mr. Nimako, who urged the court to restrain the plaintiff from further tarnishing the image of the defendant on her TikTok social media platform.
Her lawyers had denied the allegation and indicated that those publications were made prior to the commencement of the case in court.
Justice Owusu restrained both parties from making such publications as they have the tendency to prejudice the matter.
The Writ
The plaintiff alleges that she is in a parlor relationship with the defendant, which began in 2020 when she was posted to the First Atlantic Bank to do her National Service.
She claims the relationship began from what she described as sexual harassment and abuse from the defendant, who is a superior officer who wielded a lot of power, and she only gave in “in order not to find working at the bank a nightmare.”
Ms. Adablah avers that the defendant fulfilled his promise of renting her a two-bedroom apartment at the cost of GH¢1,500 a month but for only one year instead of three, which has since expired and she is on the verge of being evicted.
She further avers that the sugar daddy has also bought her a Honda Civic at the cost of GH¢120,000 but the documentation to the vehicle are in the name of the defendant, who has failed to transfer the ownership to her.
She claims the defendant has now become hostile towards her since she refused to allow him have unnatural carnal knowledge with her.
She is, therefore, asking the court to order the sugar daddy to transfer the title of the Honda Civic to her, a refund of GH¢10,000.00 as cost of repairs of her car which he promised to refund but failed.
She is also asking that the sugar daddy pays her a lump sum to enable her start a business to take care of herself as agreed between the two.
Again, she wants the court to order the man to pay the remaining two years of her rent, the outstanding arrears of her monthly allowance from July 2022 to the date of judgment, and pay all medical expenses as a result of the side effects of the family planning treatment.
