Press release – CONDUCT THOROUGH INVESTIGATION INTO BREACH OF PRESIDENTIAL SECURITY

                                                                                             October 28, 2021

The Institute for Intelligence and Strategic Security notes with grave concern recent
developments relating to serious breach of security of the President of the Republic, His
Excellency Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo Addo, to wit viral pictures of the president allegedly
taken from the presidential jet and other highly restricted private places by an alleged girl friend
of the president one Serwaa Broni.

1. It is particularly worrying that despite the resources available to the national security
   apparatus to provide high class security protection for the president and vice-president and
   their spouses, such breach could occur.
2. IISS views this development as having serious potential to undermine the sanctity of the
   High Office of the President of the Republic, dignity of the president and reputation of
   Government of Ghana, and wish to call on the Bureau of National Intelligence to as matter of
   urgency commission investigation to unravel circumstances surrounding this incident and
   bring officers found to have exhibited unprofessional conduct leading to this unfortunate
   incident.
3. The Institute also condemns in no uncertain terms the use of social media by the alleged girl
   friend and her associates to denigrate the dignity of the President and High Office of the
   President and calls for restraint.
4. The security of the President is a very high national security requirement and should not
   under any circumstance be compromised the manner in which it has. IISS by this statement
   charges the Ministry of National Security and National Security Council Secretariat to review
   current presidential security arrangements in order to eliminate vulnerabilities and
   guarantee the highest level of security of the President, Vice President and other class of
   persons as prescribed by law.
5. Additionally, allegations of use of security operatives to cause harm to Serwaa Broni must
   be investigated, and the necessary protection provided her.
