Tonto Dikeh pleads with Ghanaian govt over actress Akuapem Polo’s sentence

NOLLYWOOD actress Tonto Dikeh has joined her voice to others pleading for a lighter sentence for Ghanaian actress, Akuapem Polo, who was sentenced to 90 days in jail over her naked photo with her son.

In a post shared on her Instagram page, Tonto, a single mum of one, says nobody tells a mother how to bring up her child; however, it becomes societal responsibility when the child is hurt.

Although the actress condemned the nude photos, she pleaded for a lighter sentence for the actress. She also pleads with Nigerians to help sign the petition against her 90 days sentence.

She wrote: One thing They always say is No one can tell a Mother how to bring Up her Child, it only becomes society’s responsibility when you are hurting the child.

“In this case I see no hurt here, Can I take the same picture? No I couldn’t, not even in the next life but Am different doesn’t mean The Act is Totally wrong..Morally Wrong? YES. CLASSLESS? YES Sir but Not Bad enough to Go to Jail? No, I don’t think so..

“Dear Nigerians pls show some Love/support. Let’s get this petition document filled up and get Our Girl back home.

“Thanks.”

In a subsequent post, Tonto Dikeh added:

“I AM NOT IN SUPPORT OF WHAT POLLO DID.

SHE SHOULD BE PUNISHED, YES BY LAW..

WE ARE ONLY SAYING TAMPER JUSTICE WITH MERCY FOR A LIGHTER SENTENCE..

3MONTHS WITHOUT YOUR TODDLER CHILD IS A PAIN NO MOTHER SHLD FEEL.”.
