The court should have gone easy on Akuapem Poloo -Bernard Avle

“I think the court’s judgement on Akuapem Poloo is a bit too harsh. She is a first-time offender and you can imagine how hard it will be for her son not to see his mother for three months.

I think the court should have been a bit lenient with her and given her a softer punishment,” Bernard Avle stated.
