Retired Colonel Festus Aboagye recently claimed that former Bank of Ghana boss Dr. Ernest Addison had set up secret listening devices at his home. This statement came after National Security agents searched Addison's house, an action many people criticized. The minority leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, complained that officers took jewelry and money belonging to Mrs. Addison during their search.

Colonel Aboagye told TV3 a different story about why the search happened. He said he checked with sources inside National Security and learned they had information about electronic devices in Addison's home. These devices are supposedly connected back to the Bank of Ghana offices. What some people called a broken camera was actually a monitoring wire, according to Aboagye.

The retired military man explained further that Addison had installed backdoor electronic equipment at his residence. He claimed these devices let the former governor watch what happened at the bank after he left his job. Aboagye used plain language when he described this activity as spying rather than monitoring.

The government never gave permission for any former bank official to monitor bank activities from home. Aboagye stated clearly that removing these unauthorized surveillance connections was the main goal of the search. His claims have started more arguments about why security forces really entered the house and raised questions about how much the government watches its citizens and gathers secret information about them.
