‘Side chick’ sues banker ‘Sugar daddy’ for failing relationship promises
A former national service lady has sued one of the managers of First Atlantic Bank, who she claims was her lover, for allegedly breaching an agreement to take care of her.
Deborah Seyram Adablah dragged the Director of Finance of First Atlantic Bank, Kwasi Nimako, to the Accra High Court, and he is expected to appear before Friday, January 27.
In a suit dated January 23, 2023, Deborah contends that her ‘sugar daddy’ agreed to buy her a car, pay for her accommodation for three years, give her a monthly stipend of GH¢3,000, marry her after divorcing his wife and also give her a lump sum to start a business.
It is her case that the ‘sugar daddy’ bought the car but registered it in his name.
Later, he denied her access to use it after about a year of enjoying the Honda Civic worth GH¢120,000, while he also paid for only one year of accommodation.
The plaintiff, whose national service period ended in July 2021, admits to being in a relationship with the married man following the fact that her happiness at the workplace was under threat had she failed to give in to the relationship.
Deborah has also accused the defendant of abuse, sexual harassment, maltreatment, exploitation and also lowering her reputation.
She further states that she had turned down an opportunity to be a permanent staff after her national service due to the manager’s promise of making life comfortable for her.
On this basis, the plaintiff is seeking an order from the court directed at the defendant to fulfil all promises, including the payment of the remaining two-year rent, as well as changing the title of the car into his name.
The First Atlantic Bank, which was joined in the suit, has been accused of allowing senior officers to enter into relationships with unwilling subordinates while using the females as baits to win customers for the company.
Meanwhile, the management of the bank is yet to comment on the issue.
