“At the end of their raid, they could not find anything. Unfortunately for the Governor some ten thousand Ghana cedis on his bed could not be found.
“The governor’s wife’s ear rings and necklaces were also not traced. They could not be found,” he stated.
A group of heavily armed men raided the Roman Ridge residence of former Bank of Ghana (BoG) Governor, Dr. Ernest Addison, at 5 a.m. on Wednesday, March 19, 2025.
According to a report by Asaase Radio, the operatives, numbering about 20, arrived in three vehicles, some wearing balaclavas and carrying AK-47 rifles.
Upon entering the premises, they disabled the CCTV system before demanding that Dr. Addison lead them to alleged vaults hidden in the house.
The former Governor denied having any vaults or caches of cash on the property. Despite this, the operatives ransacked the house, overturning furniture and disrupting the household.
After an extensive search, the operatives confiscated the CCTV monitor and control unit before seizing four of Dr. Addison’s vehicles, including his Toyota Lexus and Mercedes Benz, and driving them to an undisclosed location.
