After the post went viral, it was reported that Child Rights International petitioned the CID to act over the matter since Akuapem Poloo had violated some laws and also breached some Child Acts.

Based on the report by Child Rights International, the Police CID invited Akuapim Poloo for questioning and according the Police, she agreed to report herself on Wednesday, July 1, 2020 but she refused to honour the Police invitation until her arrest today Monday July 6, 2020.

Rosemond Brown took down the post and apologised to the general public over the post. After she celebrated her son’s birthday, she made a self-recorded video with her son in which they both apologised to the public over the issue.

However, the authorities would have none of that as she has been taken to DOVVSU’s headquarters in Accra for questioning.

The reason for her arrest is still not clear and no official charges have been levelled against her yet.
