Retired Colonel Festus Aboagye recently accused former Bank of Ghana head Dr. Ernest Addison of setting up secret monitoring equipment. This claim followed a search at Dr. Addison's home by National Security teams, which sparked anger across the country. Critics, including Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin, said officials took jewelry and money from Dr. Addison's wife during their visit.
Colonel Aboagye told TV3 a different story about why security forces searched the home. He said they acted because they heard Dr. Addison had placed electronic devices there. These gadgets reportedly connected to Bank of Ghana systems, letting him watch what happened there after he left his job. Aboagye explained that what some people called a broken security camera was actually a hidden wire for spying.
The retired military officer shared what he learned from contacts inside National Security about the situation. "He had devices in his house, wired to the Bank of Ghana, which enabled him to monitor what was going on," Aboagye stated during his interview. He described this behavior as surveillance and spying, not simply monitoring as others suggested.
Aboagye stressed that nobody permitted Dr. Addison to watch the Bank of Ghana's activities after leaving his position there. "The state has not authorized anybody in the form of a former BoG to mount surveillance," he said firmly. The accusations have created heated discussions about why officials really searched the home and raised questions about how much the government watches its citizens and gathers information.
