A dramatic moment unfolded during President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s final State of the Nation Address in Parliament on Friday, January 3, 2025, when Colonel Isaac Amponsah, a trusted member of the President’s security team, collapsed while on duty.
The incident occurred shortly after President Akufo-Addo began his address, which focused on the government’s achievements and plans for the nation’s future. Col. Amponsah, who has been a long-serving and dedicated bodyguard to the President, unexpectedly lost his balance and collapsed without warning.
Parliament’s medical team acted swiftly, rushing to provide immediate first aid. After stabilizing him at the scene, Col. Amponsah was transported to a nearby medical facility for further evaluation.
Visibly concerned, President Akufo-Addo paused his speech momentarily to ensure Col. Amponsah received the necessary care. The Address resumed shortly after, with the President continuing to outline his administration’s milestones and vision for Ghana’s development.
The event marked a poignant moment in what was already a significant occasion—President Akufo-Addo’s final address to Parliament as his term comes to an end.
Updates on Col. Amponsah’s condition are anticipated as the nation waits to hear more about the health of the officer who has served at the President’s side for many years.
