A group of about 20 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 arrived in three vehicles, some wearing balaclavas and carrying AK-47 rifles. Upon entering the premises, they disabled the CCTV system and demanded 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, but the operatives ransacked the house, overturning furniture and disrupting the household.
After an extensive search, they 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.
This marks the second high-profile operation since President John Mahama’s administration took office on January 7, 2025.
