A moment of apprehension and unease unfolded when the Aide De Camp (ADC) assigned to guard President Akufo-Addo during his State of the Nation Address (SONA) suddenly slumped and collapsed while on duty.
His medical emergency briefly interrupted the proceedings and the address, as the medical response team in Parliament and security personnel hurried to his side to provide assistance.
Colonel Isaac Amponsah later regained consciousness and was seen being escorted out of the chamber.
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.
