“No security personnel has left Jubilee House over unfair treatment”
The Office of the President has refuted allegation that security personnel left security post over unfair treatment.
This statement is in reply to a comment by Mr. Charles Owusu at Peace FM on Friday, 1st September 2023, that some seventy-seven (77) security personnel at Jubilee House have left over unfair treatment.
The statement signed byDirector of Communications, Eugene Arhin “The attention of the Office of the President has been drawn to a statement made by Mr. Charles Owusu on Friday, 1st September 2023, at the studios of Peace FM, to the effect that some seventy-seven (77) security personnel at Jubilee House have left their duty posts at Jubilee House because of “unfair treatment.”
It added that “Mr. Owusu is reported to have stated that “go to Jubilee House and see, the Police, Soldiers and everyone is complaining. It got to a point where almost seventy-seven security personnel decided to leave Jubilee House and go back to their units… What type of treatment are you giving them?.”
“The Office of the President would like to put on record that at no point in the tenure of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, from 2017 till date, have seventy-seven security personnel left Jubilee House to their respective units,” the statement further disclosed.
According to the Presidency “Indeed, no security officer has left Jubilee House because of “unfair treatment” meted out to them at the seat of the presidency. Curiously, at no point in Mr. Owusu’s submissions did he provide any evidence whatsoever to buttress these false claims.”
“It is important to stress that any security officer who has left Jubilee House has either been due to disciplinary reasons, or as a result of a voluntary decision made by the security officer in question,” Mr.Eugene Arhin added.
They finally urged the public to disregard these false claims, and treat them with the contempt they deserve.

Massive celebrations were recorded countrywide as the Black Stars opened their 2026 World Cup campaign with a 1-0 victory over Panama in Toronto on Wednesday.
Midfielder Caleb Yirenkyi scored the only goal of the match late in the game as he shot in a decent cross from substitute Brandon Asante.
The win gave Ghana a positive start in the competition, placing them in second position behind England, also with three points but with a superior goal aggregate.
After the final whistle, the streets and other viewing centres were turned into partying grounds as fans, mostly clad in the team’s paraphernalia, danced to several World Cup-themed music.
Others blew the vuvuzelas in joyous mood with others putting up a spirited ‘jama’ session.
