The rapid and unexpected nature of the incident prompted swift action from Parliament’s medical team, who quickly attended to the bodyguard. After receiving initial first aid, Col. Amponsah was transported to a nearby medical facility for further evaluation and care.
President Akufo-Addo, visibly concerned, paused his speech briefly to ensure that Col. Amponsah was given the necessary attention and care. Despite the interruption, the State of the Nation Address resumed shortly thereafter, continuing without further disruptions.
This event marked a poignant moment during President Akufo-Addo’s final address to Parliament, which not only reflected on the country’s progress under his leadership but also set the tone for Ghana’s future trajectory.
The President’s concern for his bodyguard highlighted the close-knit bond between him and his security team.
Further updates on Col. Amponsah’s health are expected, with the nation awaiting more information in the coming hours.
