President Nana Akufo-Addo's presentation of his final State of the Nation Address (SONA) before leaving office took a dramatic turn on Friday, January 3, 2025, when his bodyguard collapsed while the President was speaking in Parliament.
The bodyguard, positioned close to the podium, began to show signs of distress during the President's address.
At first, it seemed like a minor issue, but as moments passed, it became evident that the situation was serious.
To the shock and alarm of the gathered Members of Parliament, the guard stumbled, lost his balance, and ultimately collapsed.
