Actress and socialite, Akuapem Poloo has been slapped with a ninety-day jail sentence for posting obscene material on social media.
The embattled actress was on Wednesday, April 14 convicted by the Accra Circuit Court over a naked picture she shared on social media on her son's birthday.
Poloo was convicted after pleading guilty to the charges of misdemeanor, domestic violence and publishing obscene material.
She was remanded into custody to undergo pregnancy test but it appears the test came out negative hence the ruling.
The judge said that she considered her pleas before handing her the sentence.

It appears that the sentence is too harsh. Are the judge, the prosecutors and the child rights advocates saying that they have not seen the nudity of their mothers before? What do they mean by domestic violence? Is it exposure of her nudity to her son? If anything at all, it was the picture that Akuapem Poloo circulated which is wrong. Charging her for exposing her nudity to her son isn't right.
Wayome still walking free eating and sleeping, JB killers still in cells eating and sleeping 5 years after they arrest them but no sentence, Ahmed Suale killere still not found, Nam1 still walking free eating and sleeping, Kan Dapaaah was naked after his exposed but he is still a minister in Ghana, 100s of politicians stole millions on cedis but still walks free. But jail Akwapem Polo...very sad for Ghana
