Despite the seriousness of the situation, she appeared undeterred, telling her followers:
Forty-five days, I’ll surely be back. Let’s see what they want to do. I’ll keep you all posted until I reach my confinement
She also mentioned having made arrangements for her absence, asking friends to look after her apartment and her pet dog during her incarceration.
Even as she prepared to serve time, Adablah maintained a defiant stance, sharing another video in which she appeared unbothered by the outcome.
Adablah was found guilty of contempt of court in connection with two videos she published online, in which she criticised the judge handling her case against her former partner, Ernest Kwasi Nimako.
The court found her remarks insulting to the judiciary. She was summoned to explain herself but reportedly failed to appear, leading to the issuance of a bench warrant for her arrest.
