Ghanaian Actress Akuapem Poloo has announced that she has converted from Christianity to Islam.
She announced on her social media platforms after declaring the shahada; thus declaring her belief in heart and mind that there is only one God and Prophet Muhammad is God’s human messenger.
In the photos to announce her new religion, Akuapem Poloo posed with some Islamic clergies. She captioned the photo “Alhamdulillah full Muslim now thanks to the Deputy Imam of ASWAJ Ga West and Cheif Imam on Nsakina Quran Reciter and his board for assisting in this.”
Her post has since been attracting well wishes from her followers, especially her Muslim fans.
Akuapem Poloo in 2021 was sentenced after she was found guilty of posting a nude photo of herself and her seven-year-old son on June 30, 2020.
She headed to jail on Friday, April 16, 2021, after her sentencing was announced by an Accra circuit court. The actress was convicted and jailed for 90 days in April 2021 but she secured bail after her lawyers filed for an appeal.
However, in December 2021, the High Court in Accra dismissed her appeal and sent her back to jail.
“Now my circle is very small. My time in jail has changed my life. I learned a lot of things in jail, so it has changed some things in my life. Now I don’t want to get into trouble. So, my only friends are my mother and son. For now, the people I have are my mum and my son,” she said.
