In a startling moment, Col. Amponsah collapsed while the President was delivering his address, prompting swift medical intervention at the scene. Authorities acted quickly, ensuring he received the necessary care before being transported to the 37 Military Hospital for comprehensive evaluation.
Sources from the Jubilee House have reported that Colonel Amponsah is now back at home and recuperating well after being discharged from the hospital. The incident raised concerns among colleagues and attendees at the event, highlighting the pressures faced by those in such high-stress positions.
