This development got many social media users up in arms and dragged many people including NAM1 into the matter with the insinuation that Akuapem Poloo's act could not be compared to some acts done in the past.
In reacting to this assertion, which led to creating a viral hashtag #FreeAkuapemPoloo, the businessman took to social media to have his say.
According to him, he was acquitted and discharged of all charges brought against him on foreign soil and had also pleaded not guilty in a court in Ghana.
He added that he was still going to have his day in court so dragging him into Akuapem Poloo's issue was neither here nor there.
NAM1's post on micro-blogging site Twitter read: "Stop Misleading the public. Even on a foreign land i was acquitted and discharged, a decision that was affirmed by the Appeals Court 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."
Many followers of the embattled businessman took to the comment section in solidarity while others also took a stance against him following his opinion.
