The Executive director of the Ghana Institute of Governance and security, David Agbey has said the security attache who is seen in a viral video shoving an old man to the floor did nothing wrong but was only doing his work.
Nevertheless, he was quick to add that the Security officers should have been vigilant enough to have prevented the man from getting closer to the president.
“I was sad for the man, however, I cannot also blame the security attach to the president because the security man was doing what is expected of him. It is a very dicey issue because the security man was doing what was expected of him because at that time nobody could predict what the man was holding.”
In an interview on Starr FM he noted that he was expecting the president to have got down to talk to the old man.
“I was expecting the president, whom we use to call the ‘show boy’ could have whispered to the ears of the driver and get down to establish some rapport with the gentleman because he felt embarrassed.” He, however, cautioned the security detail of the president to be extra vigilant.
According to him, the President could have been hurt if the man who allowed to shake him as requested and the bodyguard will be blame afterwards which will result in losing his job, so to him the security guard did nothing wrong.
The presidential bodyguard was seen on camera punching to the floor an old man who tried to get a handshake from the president, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, while in his car. In a 33-second viral video that was speculated on a high speed on social media, the man is seen forcefully trying to get a handshake from the President, but even before he could get closer, he was heavily pushed and crashed to the floor by the bodyguard.
