In the early hours of last year, a deadly virus shook the entire world with the pace at which it swept people off their feet and took millions of lives in a glance at an unexpected hour. This caused the World Health Organization to declare it as a pandemic. One of the countries which lost a lot of its citizens is the United Kingdom which is governed by Queen Elizabeth.

After the UK recorded their very first case of coronavirus, they have had quite a handful of mishaps leading to about 3 million people contracting the virus with a little over 80,000 deaths according to the records from Johns Hopkins University on Saturday, January 9, 2021. In as much the UK is currently under total lockdown, a new variant of the coronavirus was detected on Friday, January 8, 2021, which took the country by surprise and infected 1,325 persons within a day which the Health Section ascertained to be the highest daily
death toll in the year.

In a press release on Friday evening, the mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, prated that, “The situation in London is now critical with the spread of the virus out of control.
We are declaring a major incident because the threat this virus poses to our city is at a crisis point… If we do not take immediate action now, our National Health Service could be overwhelmed and more people will die”.

Some few months ago, it was announced that Prince Charles, the son of Queen Elizabeth, tested positive for the covid-19 and went into isolation and after his treatment, the second-in-line to the throne, Prince William, also tested positive for coronavirus some few days ago. As we already know, WHO has approved of the covid-19 vaccines they deployed some of the big pharmaceutical companies to experiment on and these vaccines have been requested by a lot of countries to be used in the treatment of their victims.

On Saturday, January 9, 2021, a Buckingham spokesperson made it known that Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip have received some of the vaccines for the coronavirus.
The suffusions were dispensed by a household doctor at Windsor Castle, a royal source disclosed.

To avoid inexactitudes, her Majesty who’s spent 94 years on earth decided to let it known that she had acquired the inoculation. The source added.

Abortions, as we all know, are a lawless act that is being frowned upon by society at large. Despite it being illegal, some mischievous persons still go-ahead to take this risk, and mostly, it is the doctors who perform this operation that is mostly dealt with according to the law.

In Suhum which is located in the Eastern Region of Ghana, a confident trickster ascertained to be a doctor with the name David Darko has finally been incarcerated for 4 years by the Suhum Circuit Court after been on the run from the police force for nearly 3 years now.

In December 2017, a warrant was issued for the arrest of this charlatan alongside his accomplices when the Suhum police were alerted on the abortions ongoing and this led to them fleeing from their abode when the personnel from the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit ( DOVVSU ) stormed their facility. The haunt for them had since been in the process until he got arrested some weeks ago.

The culprit who is said to be a ” specialist” had been conducting unsafe abortions for ten good years now without any professional qualifications and certification. He was a health extension officer with the Youth Employment Agency posted to the Tetteh Quarshie Memorial hospital located at Mampong. After his service ended, he was taken in by Rev Bidi Memorial hospital which is popularly known as Setsoafia clinic as a ward assistant but was dismissed after exactly a year, somewhere in 2017, for misconduct and that was when his new found hobby was executed.

The illegal abortion center is found just a few meters away from the private hospital where he used to work. His arrest was made when some of his victims who suffered some complications after the abortions were done filed reports against him at the Suhum police station. Chief Superintendent Joseph Owusu who is the Police Commander for the Suhum division of police confirmed to the DGN Online that the Municipal health directorate informed the police about David’s deeds which led to his immediate arrest.

Presiding over his case yesterday, January 11, 2021, Judge Diana Adu Asare jailed him for 4 years with hard labor after he was found guilty of two counts of practicing medicine without authority and receiving money for the practice of medicine without authority.

Outbreaks of fire have been on the rampage in these past weeks in the country and as inescapable as they seem , we tend not to have absolute control over them and such is what occurred in the early hours of today, January 12,2021 at one of the famous magazines in the country; Suame magazine.

In the last 48 hours, Kumasi, the capital city of Ashanti region, has recorded 3 fire outbreaks consecutively and this has created a tensed up atmosphere within the vicinity, resulting in fear and panicking amongst the inhabitants. The fire started around 9am today and per reports received, the number of mutilated spare parts were estimated to be worth billions of cedis, leaving craftsmen powerless.

In an interview granted by an eye witness identified as Omega Kwarteng with Pure FM’s Osei Kwadwo, he made it known that the staff and shop managers did their best to quench the fire but it was uncontrollable and gutted into locked shops to destroy several products.
” There is a fire beyond reach. We noticed that smoke came from the building on the floor and the fire erupted”…this was uttered by Osei Kwadwo who visited the site.

Lawrence Nana Asiamah Hanson, known in showbiz as Bulldog, was arrested on Monday, January 11, 2021, over allegations that he had threatened President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo will not complete his four-year term in office if aggrieved customers of Menzgold, a gold dealership firm, do not get back their locked-up funds.

Bulldog who claims that he invested in Menzgold, stated on UTV’s United Showbiz on Saturday, January 9, 2021: “The fact that people invested in Menzgold, it is also somebody’s business which employs a lot of people. Now, if you have issues with whatever it is when commenting on Menzgold, you need to relax with your comments.

“We have a culture of trying to pull people down in this country. Look, two or three years from now or even this year, you could start a huge business [but] if someone goes on the rampage to say that the business you are engaging in is not good, I think it is not healthy for our system.” Bulldog was commenting on issues raised on the show by co-panelist Afia Schwarzenegger.

Trying to give vivid explanations on why Menzgold was shut down by the Akufo-Addo administration, Bulldog said, Menzgold was operating when the government indicated that the firm had no license to operate in that ‘specialized’ field.

“Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo will not complete his four-year term in office if aggrieved customers of Menzgold, a gold dealership firm, do not get back their locked-up funds” – Bulldog said.

“In my view, if you say the person doesn’t have a permit to run the business, you regularize their business. You make sure they get the permit, then you allow them to work. If you don’t do that and say OK shut down [the] business, what you need to do is to protect customers,” Bulldog explained.

Making reference to Afia Schwarzenegger’s comments earlier that some of her family folk who saved with Menzgold had lost all their investments, Bulldog reiterated that the government needed to pay all investors before shutting down the business.

“It doesn’t make sense [if] they want to shut them down,” Bulldog said. “To protect customers, customers should receive their monies before they shut them down.”

Afia Schwarzenegger then interjected, “So where is the money?”

Bulldog obviously ruffled by the interjection replied: “Go and ask the government that shut them down. Are you listening? We’ll get our monies back else Nana Addo will run; he won’t finish his four years. I’m telling you. He won’t finish his four years.”

When Afia Schwarzenegger suggested that he was threatening the President, Bulldog said: “Just shut up, that’s none of your business.”
