During President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s final State of the Nation Address on January 3, 2025, a startling incident unfolded in Parliament when the President’s personal bodyguard, Colonel Isaac Amponsah, suddenly collapsed while on duty.
The collapse occurred shortly after President Akufo-Addo began delivering his speech, which focused on the government’s accomplishments and future aspirations. Reacting swiftly, Parliament’s medical team rushed to Col. Amponsah’s aid, administering first aid before transferring him to a nearby medical facility for further care.
President Akufo-Addo briefly paused his address to ensure his bodyguard received immediate attention. After the situation was managed, the President resumed his speech, which continued without further interruptions.
This event, though unsettling, did not 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 anticipated in the coming hours.
