He attended to him before he was rushed to the clinic.

The man, who was only identified as Bismark, was on the verge of dying at the court.

He gasped for breath and failed to respond to a relative, who tried to assist him to gain consciousness.

The situation abruptly disrupted the court proceedings, as it drew the attention of those in the courtroom, including the judge, Justice Abdullah Iddrisu.

The man was sitting behind Mr Obeng-Andoh, who was also in court with his lawyers to move an application for the release of his passport which he deposited as part of his bail conditions.

Reports said that Bismark was on medication and gasped for breath suddenly.

The woman immediately called for water and a relation of Mr Obeng-Andoh offered her bottled water.

Mr Obeng-Andoh quickly offered assistance to help the man to regain consciousness.

After the man gained consciousness, he signaled the Court Warrant Officer (CWO) to make arrangements for the man to be taken to the clinic for emergency treatment.

But the man, who was struggling to breathe, told the director that he could not walk.

Mr. Obeng-Andoh pleaded with the CWO to get a wheelchair to transport the man to the clinic.

He later asked the man whether he had taken his medication that morning which he answered in the affirmative.

He asked the man whether he had high blood pressure or diabetes and the woman, who accompanied him, said no.

Eventually, the CWO and staff of the Judicial Service Clinic at the Court Complex brought the wheelchair and conveyed the man to the clinic.

Mr. Obeng-Andoh later visited Bismark at the clinic after the court had granted his request for the passport to be released to him.

Pet goat ‘Speedy’ helped save family from house fire http://34.58.148.58/pet-goat-speedy-helped-save-family-house-fire/ Sat, 15 Apr 2017 15:15:23 +0000 http://ghana-news.adomonline.com/new/?p=78821 A pet goat proved to be a lifesaver for an Arkansas family after helping to wake them up during a house fire.

Abigail Bruce, 10, had her sleep interrupted when her new pet goat “Speedy” began hopping on her legs and chest and frantically bleating for her to wake up.

“I was thinking what’s happening? And all I seen was smoke,” she told WREG.

The girl quickly ran into her parents room to inform them she was barely able to breath due to the smoke that had made its way into the house.

Her father, Nick Bruce, got out of bead to discover the family’s garage had been consumed by flames.

“The fire was already starting to come through the windows,” he said.

The family managed to jump out of the bedroom window to safety, mostly thanks to Speedy’s timely actions.

“He knew what to do and everything,” Abigail said.

Her father bought Speedy for the girl as an early birthday present just two days before the fire and their relationship got off to a rocky start.

“I personally, did not like it. I didn’t want anything to do with the goat, but after this weekend, I guess he came right on time,” he told KAIT.

Abigail was grateful to her new pet for helping save the family and said the two would share a long-lasting bond.

“I like that little goat,” she said. “I think he means a lot right now. Well not just right now, but forever.”
