This comes after the Ghanaian actress changed her plea from “not guilty” to “guilty” to all the three charges levelled against her in the case which the court started hearing last year.
The sentencing of the actress who appeared before the court in a black dress and black nose mask with her hands folded whilst she sobs to plead guilty has been postponed by the presiding judge, Ms Christiana Cann.
The court will now sentence Akuapem Poloo on her own plea but as a requirement by law, it has to be sure of her state as a woman, hence, an order for a pregnancy test to be conducted to ensure that she is not pregnant.
The actress was therefore remanded into police custody to appear on Friday (April 16, 2021) with the results of the pregnancy for sentencing. Akuapem Poloo is likely to be handed a jail time, community service or fine based on the presiding Judge’s discretion.
