0 A group of heavily armed men suspected to be from the National Security Secretariat have reportedly stormed the private residence of former Bank of Ghana Governor, Dr. Ernest Addison, at Roman Ridge.
The operation, according to Accra-based Asaase Radio, took place on the morning of Wednesday, March 19 with the former governor present.
The report says the group numbering about twenty wielding rifles disabled the CCTV system upon arrival before demanding that Dr. Addison lead them to “vaults” supposedly hidden in his house.
But Dr Addison denied having any vaults or caches of money at home, per the report.
Despite his response, the operatives proceeded to ransack the residence, leaving the property in disarray.
According to Asaase Radio, their security team’s search yielded no vaults nor large sums of cash adding that they seized the CCTV monitor and control unit before leaving the premises.
Per the report, Dr. Addison and his family are shaken by the development.
This comes a month after a similar incident occurred at the home of the former Finance Minister’s home in Accra.
The incident, which occurred on February 11, 2025, involved a team of 12 individuals, including the two defendants, nine military personnel, and plainclothes officers, who allegedly entered Mr Ofori-Atta’s property without a warrant or prior notice.
The former minister, who was out of the country for medical treatment at the time, claims the raid caused significant distress to his domestic staff and damaged his reputation.
