Deborah Seyram Adablah Breaks Her Silence After 45 Days in Prison: “I’m Back Like I Never Left”

Deborah Seyram Adablah, the Ghanaian woman at the center of a widely publicized office romance and legal saga, has been released after serving a 45-day jail term for contempt of court. Her imprisonment followed a bench warrant issued on May 5, after she publicly accused a High Court judge of bias in her ongoing legal battle with her former employer and alleged romantic partner.

In a video posted on social media on June 19, Deborah appeared in good spirits and healthy, wearing the same outfit she had on the day of her sentencing. This marked her first public appearance after being released from Nsawam Female Prison. Smiling brightly, she thanked God for her release and quickly resumed her usual content creation, engaging with her online audience.

A bystander noted that she “didn’t look like someone who had just come out of prison.

In the caption accompanying the video, Deborah wrote: “Thank you, OIC, chiefs, my ewurabas, and the special inmates of the Nsawam Female Prison for your preservation, correction, and security. I love you all.” The post has since gone viral, with social media users commenting on what they perceive as subtle changes in her appearance and overall demeanor.

In 2023, Deborah Seyram Adablah filed a lawsuit against Ernest Kwasi Nimako, the former Chief Finance Officer of a prominent Ghanaian bank, citing their relationship which began while she was serving as a National Service personnel at the institution.

Deborah claimed that Nimako promised to buy her a car, cover her rent for three years, and provide a monthly allowance of GH¢3,000. Their romantic relationship reportedly ended after about a year, at which point Nimako allegedly reclaimed the car and stopped paying her rent. Feeling wronged, Deborah filed a lawsuit against him for breach of promise, sexual harassment, and failure to honor both personal and financial commitments. The case, heard by Justice John Bosco Nabarese at the High Court in Accra, was ultimately dismissed.

While proceedings were still ongoing, the court ordered the seizure of a Honda Civic linked to the case. Deborah contested the enforcement of this directive, insisting that court bailiffs needed additional time to carry it out. She later shared two videos on her social media platforms in which she made disparaging comments about the presiding judge and accused him of bias. These videos served as evidence in court and resulted in her being summoned for contempt, leading to her 45-day prison sentence.
