A concerning incident unfolded during President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s final State of the Nation Address in Parliament on Friday, January 3, 2025, when one of his personal bodyguards, Colonel Isaac Amponsah, collapsed unexpectedly while standing guard.
The collapse occurred moments after the President began his address, which focused on the government’s achievements and vision for Ghana’s future. Col. Amponsah, a longstanding and dedicated member of the President’s security team, suddenly lost his footing and fell without warning.
Parliament’s medical team responded immediately, rushing to provide first aid. Col. Amponsah was then transported to a nearby medical facility for further evaluation.
Visibly concerned, President Akufo-Addo paused his speech briefly to ensure Col. Amponsah received the necessary care. The address resumed shortly afterward and continued without further disruptions.
This State of the Nation Address holds particular significance as President Akufo-Addo’s last to Parliament before the end of his term, highlighting Ghana’s progress under his administration and laying out a vision for the nation’s future.
Updates on Col. Amponsah’s condition are expected in the coming hours.
