Deborah Seyram Adablah, a former National Service Personnel, posted a TikTok video documenting her journey to the Accra High Court following a bench warrant issued for her arrest. The warrant, issued on May 5, 2025, stems from comments deemed contemptuous that she made about the judge presiding over her ongoing legal case involving her former employer, Mr. Ernest Kwasi Nimako.
In the video posted on May 6, Seyram is seen en route to court and speaks candidly to her followers. “Do you all know the weight of a bench warrant?” she asked, highlighting the seriousness of the situation. She also remarked—perhaps half-jokingly—that she would have preferred being transported by the police to court, adding, “Should I have been locked up first?”
The videos that triggered the warrant were shared via TikTok and reportedly contained criticisms directed at the judges handling her civil case. The court considered the remarks a violation of judicial decorum and grounds for contempt.
Despite the legal tension, Seyram’s video received widespread attention, with many viewers offering support and encouragement. Commenters praised her courage and expressed admiration for her composure in the face of legal adversity. Others drew moral lessons from the situation, reflecting on the challenges many women face in workplace dynamics and power imbalances.
One commenter wrote, “This is bigger than just a court case—many women suffer in silence. Deborah is speaking for more than herself.” Another added, “It takes bravery to show up like this. Stay strong, Seyram.”
The case continues to draw public interest due to its mix of legal, social, and personal elements—particularly as it touches on issues of accountability, gender power dynamics, and digital expression in Ghana’s evolving media landscape.
