Rawlings accepts bodyguard

The ex-President Flt. Lt. Rawlings has now accepted the "no- win" situation created last week when the government changed 25 military bodyguards who had guarded him for good 20 years, reports The Daily Guide.

According to a report filed to the BBC by Kwaku Sakyi Addo, Rawlings has now invited the policemen guarding him into the main yard of his North Ridge residence and has also offered them a share of his food.

The report said the police humbly declined the invitation opting to patrol the outer perimeters of the residence as they have been ordered to, but it was not clear if they partook of the snacks allegedly offered them by Rawlings or not.

They told the BBC reporter, 'No Problem' when he sought to get an update of the situation. "This is in sharp contrast with earlier reports that the ex- president protested when he was informed of the change of the guards," according to the Guide.
