The Minister for Information and Presidential Affairs, Jake Obetsebi Lamptey has been admitted at the Cardio-vascular Unit of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.

Jake was admitted following a ''bombshell'' dropped by Kofi Wayo on an Accra Radio station, Radio Gold that he (Jake) once referred to President Kufuor as ''this Ashanti bastard''.

According to THE PALAVER, the bombshell sent Jake into a traumatic shock.

''Our sources indicate that even though Jake walked into the hospital himself last Sunday February 8, 2002 he was immediately admitted upon examination. The source described Jake’s breathing at the time of admission as ‘laboured’ and said his stomach also appeared distended'', the paper said.
