The incident briefly interrupted the President’s address but he resumed his presentation after a few minutes, after the ADC was carried to a corner of the auditorium for medical attention.

The aide-de-camp of the Vice President, a police officer, immediately took over to stand behind the President.

The cause of Amponsah’s collapse was yet to be ascertained at press time.
