The Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Dr Dominic Ayine, has clarified recent claims regarding the removal of CCTV cameras during a raid on the property of Dr Addisson, stating that it was not the cameras themselves that were taken, but rather the hard drive which stores the footage.

This follows growing public outcry and demands for accountability after a team of heavily armed National Security operatives raided Dr Addison’s Roman Ridge home on March 19.

The incident, which saw officers disabling CCTV cameras and ransacking the property, has raised concerns about due process and the motives behind the operation

During a press conference, Dr Ayine explained, "Regarding the CCTV cameras that were taken, the cameras were actually not taken."

"It was the hard drive of the CCTV, and every investigator knows that the hard drive is what stores, it is the memory, it is the brain box of the CCTV camera," he said on Monday, March 24.

He further elaborated that while the CCTV cameras serve as the mechanism for capturing and transmitting images, it is the hard drive that stores the data, effectively acting as the "memory" of the system.

"The camera itself is just a mechanism for transmitting images or getting the images. But when it obtains the images, they are then stored in the hard drive," Dr Ayine said.

Dr Ayine confirmed that it was the hard drive, not the cameras, which was taken during the investigation, either by investigators or National Security personnel who carried out the raid.

"It was the hard drive we took or the National Security who went to his house took," he clarified.

In response to alleged accusations and misinformation circulating about the incident, the Attorney General strongly refuted claims that the cameras had been taken.

"So those who are saying that we went and took CCTV cameras are mistaking, and they are being mischievous in whatever they are doing with that information," he stated.
