In her suit, Ama Serwaa indicated that she and Issaka, both migrant workers, first met in Italy. Finally, the plaintiff (Ama Serwaa) sought general damages for the deprivation and any other relief from Issaka Hashimu, on the orders of the court. But Ama Serwaa refused to concede defeat, taking the case to the apex court of the land; the Supreme Court. In her December 2019 case at the Supreme Court, she convinced the five-member panel constituted of Justices Yonny Kulendi, Agnes Dordzie (Mrs), and Lovelace Johnson (Ms) with her case. In their unanimous decision, the Supreme Court held that the plaintiff, Ama Serwaa, on a balance of probabilities, had proven her claim against the defendant.
