Colonel Isaac Amponsah, a personal bodyguard of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, collapsed while on duty during the President’s final State of the Nation Address on January 3, 2025. Apexnewsgh reports
The incident occurred shortly after the President began his speech, which highlighted his administration’s achievements and outlined Ghana’s future aspirations.
As Col. Amponsah, a long-serving and dedicated member of the President’s security detail, suddenly lost consciousness, concern spread quickly among those in attendance. Parliament’s medical team sprang into action, administering first aid before rushing Col. Amponsah to a nearby medical facility for further evaluation and care.
President Akufo-Addo, visibly worried, paused his address briefly to ensure his bodyguard received prompt attention. After a short delay, the President resumed his speech, continuing to reflect on Ghana’s progress and set the stage for the nation’s future under new leadership.
The dramatic incident, though unsettling, didn’t overshadow the significance of the occasion, marking President Akufo-Addo’s final State of the Nation Address before the conclusion of his term. Updates on Col. Amponsah’s condition are eagerly awaited.
