He said he was ready to supply the audience who are interested in the purchase of his birds.

The 29-year-old labourer said this in court where he has been charged for the use of a narcotic drug.

Ayambire pleaded not guilty and the court presided over by Mrs Abena Oppong Adjin Doku admitted him to bail in sum of GH 7,000 with one surety.
