Ghanaians SHOCKED As Akuapem Polo Celebrates Son's Birthday With N@ked Photo

An Accra High Court has granted the convicted Ghanaian actress, Akuapem Poloo, bail in the sum of ¢80,000 with two sureties, Wednesday.

As part of her bail condition, the social media sensation, born Rosemond Brown, has to report to the case investigator every two weeks. She is also supposed to deposit her passport with the registrar of the court.

The court presided over by Justice Ruby Aryeetey said, she will only travel with the express permission of the court.

The court further said the applicant has satisfied the four grounds of bail pending appeal.

The Accra Circuit Court last week handed the actress a 90 days jail sentence for posting naked pictures of herself and her son on social media.

The sentence divided the country with some describing the judgment as harsh, whilst some were of the opinion that the sentence was commiserate with the offense.

The application for bail was not opposed by the state which was present in court and represented by Senior State Attorney Selasie Kuwornu.

According to him, this is because the State had no control over the length of the appeal which could be on beyond the 90 days jail sentence.

The actress born Rosemond Brown was sentenced after pleading guilty to the charges of publication of obscene materials, engaging in domestic violence namely conduct that in any way undermines another person’s privacy or integrity and engaging in domestic violence namely conduct that in any way detract from another person’s dignity and worth as a human being.
