The Ghanaian Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection has vowed to deal with the matter involving actress, Akuapim Poloo, for exposing her son to her nakedness.

Poloo, days ago, received backlashes on social media after posting a photo of herself (completely naked) in front of her son (who was staring into her eyes with only pants on) to celebrate her his birthday.

Following the viral post which has since been deleted, Poloo, however, apologized for the move but the government, regardless, waded into the matter.

In a press statement signed by Minister Cynthia Mamle Morrison read in part: “The Ministry highly condemns this act which is classified as indecent exposure of the child, an act of pornography, degrading and also against the Children’s Act, 1998 (Act 560) and the Criminal and Other Offences Act, (Act 30).

The statement continued that the ministry was liaising with the appropriate agencies to deal with the issue. It further cautioned against posting or sharing nude pictures on social networks stressing that it “is a serious offence and all must desist from the act.”
