Following the complaint, Akuapem Poloo was arrested and admitted posting the nude picture together with her son unintentionally in a statement to the police.

The court presided over by Her Honour Christina Cann deferred her sentencing to today, April 16, 2021, for Poloo to undergo a pregnancy test to ensure she was not pregnant before her sentencing is passed.

Her results came out negative, meaning she is fit to serve her imprisonment.
