President Akufo-Addo’s personal bodyguard, Colonel Isaac Amponsah, collapsed while standing guard in the chamber of Parliament.
The incident occurred during President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s final State of the Nation Address in Parliament on Friday, January 3, 2025.
The President had taken a break from his address after the incident occurred.
He was highlighting his achievements and the current state of the nation while he leaves his office after serving two terms in office.
Col. Amponsah, who has served as a dedicated member of the President’s security detail for many years, suddenly lost his footing and collapsed without warning.
Parliament’s medical team was prompted and rushed to the scene to assist.
Col. Amponsah was promptly attended to and, after receiving initial first aid, was quickly transported to a nearby facility for further medical attention.
The President then continued with his address after his guard was sent to a nearby medical facility.
