He said the questioning of his freedom in relation the proposed incarceration of Akuapem Poloo has no basis.

Social media was agog yesterday with calls for the prosecution of Mr. Mensah, who is popularly known as NAM1, after news broke that actress is set to get jail time.

In a response, NAM1 explained that he is not off the hook in his fraud case with the state as it is been speculated.

He tweeted: "Stop misleading the public. Even on a foreign land, I was acquitted and discharged; a decision that was affirmed by the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court. FYI: my granny wasn’t the presiding judge. Back home, I pleaded not guilty and I’m having my day in court”.

The court, presided over by Christiana Cann, deferred sentencing and convicted the ‘Sexy Poloo’ singer on her own plea.

For claiming to be pregnant, the court has to be sure of her state as a woman before her sentence is served, as required by law.

The court, therefore, ordered a pregnancy test to be conducted to ascertain her claim.

Akuapem Poloo was, therefore, remanded into police custody and would reappear in court on Friday, 16 April 2021 with the results of the pregnancy test for sentencing.
