Ghanaians have expressed dissatisfaction with the jail sentence handed to social media personality Rosemond Brown on charges of publication of obscene material and domestic violence.
Widely known as Akuapem Poloo, Rosemond Brown was found guilty of posting a nude photo of herself and her seven-year-old son on his birthday back on June 30, 2020.
The complainant in the case was Bright Appiah, who is the Director of Child Rights International Ghana.
He petitioned the police after the photo went viral on social media, and the matter was referred to the Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit (DOVVSU).
She was handed her sentence today, Friday, April 16, 2021, by an Accra circuit court.
Meanwhile, some Ghanaians are not happy with the ruling.

If Akuapem Poloo gets 90 days in jail for posting a nude with her son how many days will people who snatch ballot papers in the Parliament House getting considering nobody is above the law. Use the Pythagorean theorem to answer your question. 🏃🏃🏃🏃

For the avoidance of doubt, she was tried and convicted by a court of competent jurisdiction. I’m only asking questions about sentencing reforms.
