Speaking on TV3’s The Key Points show on Saturday, March 22, Rtd. Col. Aboagye explained that National Security operatives acted based on this intelligence when they searched Dr. Addison’s home.
He asserted that the destruction of the former Governor’s CCTV camera was, in reality, the removal of a “monitoring wire” used for surveillance.
The retired military officer further claimed that multiple sources confirmed this intelligence, stating, “He had devices in his house, wired to the Bank of Ghana, which enabled him to monitor what was going on. Monitoring is a very diplomatic word; this is spying, this is surveillance.”
He stressed that such actions would constitute unauthorized surveillance, stating, “The state has not authorized anybody in the form of a former BoG Governor to mount surveillance on the premises of BoG. The naked wireless was wired into devices. As far as I’m concerned, that was the objective of that search.”
