National Security Operatives Stole Ernest Addison’s Cash, Wife’s Earrings and Necklaces – Afenyo-Markin
Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has alleged that operatives of the National Security who raided the residence of former Bank of Ghana Governor, Dr. Ernest Addison, on Wednesday, March 19, stole valuables, including cash and jewelry, from the household.
Additionally, he claimed that the security personnel stole earrings and necklaces belonging to Dr. Addison’s wife.
“Some GHC10,000 on his bed could not be found. So some of these hungry party foot soldiers they use who parade themselves as National Security Operatives are after all perhaps not being paid and they use this opportunity to steal.
The raid, which took place at Dr. Addison’s private residence in Roman Ridge, Accra, has sparked widespread concern over the conduct of security operatives under the new administration.
Eyewitness accounts indicate that the heavily armed officers, some wearing balaclavas and wielding AK-47 rifles, disabled the CCTV system before searching the house.
Afenyo-Markin further indicated that this was not an isolated incident, citing a similar raid on the residence of former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta in February 2025.
As of now, the government and National Security Secretariat have not responded to the allegations.
However, calls are growing for an independent investigation into the raid and the alleged misconduct of security personnel.
