The Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine, has dismissed claims made by the Minority Leader, Alexander Kwamina Afenyo-Markin, that security operatives stole money and jewellery during the recent search of the residence of former Bank of Ghana Governor, Dr Ernest Addison.

Speaking at a press conference on Monday, March 24, 2025, he described the allegations as untrue and an insult to the security service.

“If Afenyo-Markin is daring me, I will make that recording available, so he should resist maligning law enforcement officers who are conducting investigations, and myself for the work we are doing.

"Afenyo-Markin should not abuse his parliamentary immunity by labelling or defaming public officials who are carrying out legally sanctioned public business," he stated.

During an earlier press conference on Thursday, March 20, 2025, Afenyo-Markin alleged that during the operation, personal belongings, including jewellery and money belonging to Dr Addison’s wife were stolen by the security operatives.

“Some GH₵10,000 on his bed could not be found. So, some of these hungry party foot soldiers they use who parade themselves as National Security Operatives are, after all, perhaps not being paid, and they use this opportunity to steal.

“The governor’s wife’s earrings and necklaces were also not traced. They couldn’t be found. In other words, those operatives stole these earrings and necklaces. Ghana is a matured democracy, and we should do better," he stated.
