A group of heavily armed men, suspected to be operatives from the National Security Secretariat, reportedly stormed the private residence of former Bank of Ghana (BoG) Governor, Dr. Ernest Addison.
According to Joy News sources, the operation, which took place around 5 a.m., at Roman Ridge on Wednesday, March 19 unfolded while Dr. Addison was at home.

About 15 soldiers, arriving in three separate vehicles and wielding rifles, forcefully entered the premises.
Upon arrival, the operatives swiftly disabled the CCTV system before demanding that Dr. Addison lead them to supposed “vaults” hidden within the house.
However, the former Governor firmly denied having any such vaults or caches of money on his property.
Despite his response, the operatives proceeded to ransack the residence, leaving the property in disarray.
When their search yielded no results, they reportedly called in National Security drivers to remove four of Dr. Addison’s vehicles, leaving only two behind.

Before leaving, they also confiscated the CCTV monitor and control unit.
Sources indicate that later in the evening, the family was contacted and instructed to retrieve the seized vehicles, which had been parked opposite Jokers Club in Labadi.
Dr Addison and his family are said to be deeply shaken by the incident.
This operation comes just a month after a similar raid on the home of former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta in Accra.
On February 11, 2025, a group of 12 individuals, including nine military personnel, plainclothes officers, and two other operatives, allegedly entered Mr. Ofori-Atta’s residence without a warrant or prior notice.
At the time, Mr. Ofori-Atta was out of the country for medical treatment.
He has since stated that the incident caused significant distress to his household staff and damaged his reputation.
