Nud£ Photo: Actress Akuapem Sent Back To Jail As Court Dismisses Her Appeal

The appeal filed by Ghanaian actress Akuapem Poloo, challenging her 90-day prison sentence, was dismissed by an Accra High Court.

Recall that on April 16, 2021, Akuapem was arrested, arraigned and sentenced to 90 days imprisonment by an Accra Circuit Court, over the publication of “obscene material and domestic vi0lence”, after she made a post on IG where she went nak£d during a photo with her seven-year-old son.

Though she has served a period into her term, her lawyers appealed the judgement considering it too harsh. She was subsequently granted a ¢80,000 bail, pending the determination of the appeal.

According to MyJoyFM, in a ruling on Wednesday morning, December 1, 2021, the Criminal Division of the court presided over by Justice Ruby Aryeetey upheld the Circuit court decision on grounds that the Circuit court’s decision was not manifestly excessive.

The court also ordered that Akuapem Poloo son should be given to any competent person in the family to take care of him, while his mother serves her sentence at the Nsawam Prison.
