Bullgod Fined GHS48,000 For ‘Threatening’ President Akufo-Addo

Lawrence Nana Asiamah Hanson, alias Bullgod, has been fined GHS48,000 for threatening President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo two years ago.

Concerning the Nana Appiah Mensah, alias NAM1, and his Menzgold saga, the popular entertainment pundit appearing on Accra-based UTV’s United Showbiz had said if the president does not give the clients of Menzgold justice, he would not finish his second term in office.

“We’ll get our monies back else Akufo-Addo will run; he won’t finish his four year [term],” he asserted and stressed: “I’m telling you, he won’t finish his 4 years.”

Bulldog was subsequently arrested and then dragged to court.

The artiste manager and businessman was charged with offensive conduct to the breach of the peace.

Bulldog pleaded not guilty to the charge in the two-year trial.

He maintained he never intended to threaten the president.

He only made an appeal to the president for his intervention in the interest of distraught customers of embattled Menzgold, he argued.

Justice Evelyn Asamoah, presiding over the case, in her judgment noted that Bullgod’s Saturday, January 9, 2021 utterances were not an appeal considering their weight and implication.

Thus, Mr Hanson, formerly known as Bulldog, is expected to pay a fine of GHS48,000.

In default, the Bulhaus Entertainment founder will spend 40 days in prison.
