Colonel Isaac Amponsah, the personal security guard cum Aide-De-Camp (ADC) to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, collapsed in Parliament.
The unfortunate incident occurred on Friday, January 3, 2025, during the President’s final State of the Nation Address.
Colonel Amponsah, who has been serving as the President’s ADC since February 2023, reportedly suffered a medical emergency while the President was addressing Parliament.
In February 2023, Colonel Amponsah replaced Major-General Bismark Onuonah, who was reassigned to the Army Headquarters as Commandant of the Training and Doctrine Command at the Ghana Armed Forces.
Prior to his appointment as ADC, Colonel Amponsah served as the Chief Instructor at the Military Training Academy and was stationed at the Defence Intelligence Unit at General Headquarters.
Colonel Amponsah, who had previously served in various senior positions, had been promoted to the rank of Colonel before his appointment as ADC to the President.
GhanaWeb can confirm that Colonel Amponsah later regained consciousness and was seen being escorted out of the chamber.
Further details surrounding the medical incident are yet to be released.
