Showbiz personality, Akuapem Poloo, has filed a notice of appeal at the Court of Appeal through her lawyers.
Poloo is challenging the dismissal of her appeal by the High Court with regard to her 90–day jail term for posting a nude picture of herself and her son on social media.
The notice of appeal filed by Poloo’s lawyers, led by Andrew Kudzo Vortia, says quote, “the learned judge erred in failing to appreciate that as a young first offender and a single parent, a noncustodial sentence of a fine instead of a custodial sentence of 90 days imposed on the appellant by the trial court, is appropriate in this case. That, the custodial sentence of 90 days imposed on the appellant be set aside and, in lieu, be substituted with a noncustodial sentence or a fine,” unquote.
The lawyers have therefore applied for bail for the actress as they wait to determine how the case pans out.
A week ago, the Accra High Court ordered Akuapem Poloo to go back and complete her 90-day jail term at the Nsawam Medium Security Prison.
The high court her appeal to overturn the 90-day jail term handed to her by an Accra Circuit Court in April this year.
