The National Communication Officer of the NDC, Sammy Gyamfi has joined many celebrities and Ghanaians calling for the pardoning of Ghanaian actress, Rosemond Alade Brown, aka Akuapem Poloo who has been convicted by the court.
According to Sammy Gyamfi the 90-day jail term given to Akuapem Poloo is too harsh.
He also described the sentence delivered by the Accra Circuit Court presided over by Christiana Cann as "sad" and called on President Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to "remit her sentence or pardons her."
The NDC communicator tweeted:
"The sentence given to @IamAkuapemPoloo is very harsh and high-handed. Given the fact that she is a first offender, pleaded guilty and showed remorse, non-custodial sentence would have been appropriate. Sad! I pray @NAkufoAddo remits her sentence or pardons her. #FreeAkuapemPoloo"
Akuapem Poloo was slapped with 90-day imprisonment for the publication of a nude picture with her seven-year-old son in June, in the year 2020.
She was found guilty of posting a nude photo of herself and her seven-year-old son on his birthday.
She was sentenced by an Accra Circuit Court presided over by Christiana Cann.
Ms. Christiana Cann, sentenced her to 90 days in prison each for all three counts which are to run concurrently.
The lawyer for the convict, Andy Vortia, including other lawyers who were present at the court and prayed independently as amicus curiae against a custodial sentence but the court held that a harsh sentence must be passed to serve as a deterrent for committing the offence which the court held had become prevalent in the country and affected children's best interest, right to privacy and dignity as well as the country’s moral image.
