Deborah Seyram Adablah, the woman at the center of Ghana’s sensational “sugar daddy” court case, has been sentenced to 45 days in prison by the High Court in Accra for contempt.
A former national service personnel, Adablah had sued a bank executive she called her “sugar daddy” for breach of promise, but the case was dismissed in 2023 as the court ruled the relationship was immoral and legally baseless.
While the court proceedings were ongoing, Adablah posted two videos on social media criticizing and accusing the presiding judge, Justice John Bosco Nabarese, of bias and unprofessional conduct.
She verbally attacked the judiciary, claiming favoritism and challenging the legality of a court-ordered vehicle seizure. Her actions triggered a bench warrant and, despite her defiant social media statements calling the contempt proceedings “dead on arrival,” she was eventually convicted.
In her latest livestream, reportedly broadcast moments after the conviction, Adablah confirmed she was being processed for transfer to Nsawam Prison.
Her original lawsuit had demanded numerous benefits from the banker—including rent, a car, and medical support—but was dismissed as having no legal foundation due to its basis in a morally questionable relationship.
