During President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s final State of the Nation Address to Parliament on Friday, January 3, 2025, an unexpected incident occurred when his aide-de-camp, Colonel Isaac Amponsah, collapsed while standing guard during the speech.
The incident took place shortly after President Akufo-Addo began delivering his address, which touched on the country’s progress and future aspirations.
As the President spoke, Col. Isaac Amponsah, who has served as a key member of the President’s security detail for several years, appeared to suddenly lose balance and fell to the floor in the Parliamentary chamber.
Immediate action was taken by Parliament’s medical team, who rushed to the scene to attend to Col. Amponsah.
President Akufo-Addo briefly paused his address as the situation unfolded, visibly concerned for the well-being of his personal security guard.
The State of the Nation Address proceeded after a brief pause with Parliamentarians and officials appearing worried.
As of the latest updates, sources indicate that Col. Amponsah is receiving medical treatment and is in stable condition.
