Counsellor George Lutherodt believes that the 90-day jail term for Akuapem Poloo will never change her and that she will come out of prison without a change in character.
Counsellor Lutherodt said the above while sharing his thought on Akuapem Poloo’s jail term and how this whole court issue started.
He also cautioned the celebrities using Akuapem Poloo’s sentence to stay relevant and resurrect their dead careers to be careful as they may be caught up for contempt.
She reportedly took the test on Friday following the sentencing by the Accra Circuit court.
Akuapem Poloo who was convicted on her own plea after changing her not guilty plea to guilty was given a custodial sentence on Friday after a pregnancy test conducted on her came out negative.
The outspoken actress was slapped with three charges of publication of obscene materials, engaging in domestic violence, a conduct that in any way undermines another person’s privacy or integrity, and engaging in domestic violence namely conduct that in any way detracts or is likely to detract from another person’s dignity and worth as a human being.
The Circuit Court in Accra presided over by Her Honour Mrs. Christiana Cann sentenced Akuapem Poloo on all three charges to 90 days each but the sentence she said will run concurrently, meaning she will serve three months.
Speaking to Lantam Papanko on Starr Today, on Starr FM on Friday, her lawyer Andrews Kudzo Vortia said the Covid result is expected to be ready on Monday.
He said, his client would be taken to the Ankaful Prisons if the test is negative.
Lawyer Vortia has also served notice he is going to file an appeal against the sentencing on Monday.
