Akuapem Poloo recounts prison experience
In an exclusive interview with Andy Dosty on Hitz FM, Akuapem Poloo mentioned that she was sentenced to 90 days. However, she only served 17 days at the Nsawam Female Prison.
Sharing her experience at the prison, the socialite noted that it might not be an easy experience for Nana Agradaa, no matter how tough she was.
“Even when they push you into the yard, your spirit will leave your body, ” she said.
Akuapem Poloo likened the Nsawam Prison to a boarding house. Describing the place, she said it was neat considering the fact that it was only ladies there and being neat was part of a woman’s nature.
She added that one thing that made the entire experience difficult for her was her not having the chance to see and speak to her son, Mudasir Muhammed Yakubu.
The now mother of two mentioned that said that bedtime was 5 pm and wake up time was 5 am. She said the prison wardens were the only ones who had the power to unlock and lock their prison cells.
She said that in the mornings, before they stepped out of their cells, the prison wardens counted them the same for the evening.
“Some go out to work. There were farms. Because I was new, I was not allowed to join them. We were 24 in one cell and 73 in one block”
Akuapem Poloo said that there were never served tea for breakfast and that it was only porridge and bread. She added that it was a privilege to eat three times a day, and that most often they only ate twice a day.
On the same show, she discussed how everyone had the right to religion and to practice. She said the cells were spacious, allowing her to do her signature dance moves.
“We had a flatscreen in the cell. Every cell had a flatscreen. When I was leaving, my cell had a faulty flatscreen, so I bought one for them.”
