“And I want to say this to my colleagues, to the young ones who are coming, that it is not a good act. I didn’t know and I did it, and this is what I got myself into. So please, Especially the nudity, I beg you, we should put a stop to it. Nudity is not good. It’s not good at all. It’s not just taking a picture with your son in that manner. But nudity is not good. And Ghanaians we have our norms and our culture,” he said.
She, therefore, asked the powers be to grant her some clemency in her case involving publishing a nude photo with her seven-year-old son on social media in June last year.
At the press conference, she also thanked all the people that pleaded on her behalf while she was convicted and jailed for the offence.
She added that she was very sorry for the act, reiterating that she did not know that taking a nude photo with her son could land her in jail.
“I didn’t know that taking a picture with my son in that manner could take me to jail or can put me in big trouble. I didn’t know it was not a good thing. Whatever it is, please forgive me,” she said.
Her lawyers failed to complete processes to secure her release on time after she was granted bail of GHS80,000 with two sureties by the Criminal Division of the High Court.
