Background of Deborah Seyram Adablah case against “Sugar daddy”
Deborah Seyram Adablah, filed a suit on Monday, January 23, 2023 at the Accra High Ernest Kwasi Nimako. Whom she refers to as her “sugar daddy,” made several unfulfilled promises to her.
According to the plaintiff, Nimako agreed to buy her the car, pay for her accommodation for three years and provide a monthly stipend of GH¢3,000. As well as marrying her after divorcing his wife. Also, he offered a lump sum to start a business.
The plaintiff claimed that although the car was initially registered in Nimako’s name, he later took it back. Which deprived her of its use after just a year.
Additionally, she asserted that Nimako paid for only one year of accommodation, despite promising to cover three years.
Also, the Seyram was seeking an order from the court directed at the “sugar daddy” to transfer the title of the car into her name. And also give her back the car.
She is also asking the court to order the defendant to pay her the lump sum to enable “her to start a business to take care of herself. As agreed by the plaintiff and the defendant.”
Another relief is for the court to order the “sugar daddy” to pay the outstanding two years’ accommodation. As agreed between them.
Again, she wanted the court to order the defendant to pay her medical expenses. This is as a result of a “side effect of a family planning treatment” the defendant told her to do in order not to get pregnant.
