Nothing has been left to chance regarding Dr Bawumia’s security irrespective of wherever he is.
Vice President of the Republic, Alhaji Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s security was not breached last weeked when he stepped out onto the streets of London, where he has been on medical leave for the past one week, Minister of State in-charge of National Security, Bryan Acheampong has said.
Some Ghanaians became alarmed after a video emerged last week which captured the Vice President and his wife Samira, strolling on the streets of London unaccompanied by his usual security detail.
In the said video, a gentleman who’s said to be a Ghanaian resident in London spotted the Vice President and his wife, and after going past them, the gentleman ran back and exchanged pleasantries with the couple.
Skeptics even doubted the photos being recent ones, as they argued that though Vice President Bawumia’s visit is not an official state visit, there should have been an official security detail, which was absent in the photos and videos that were released.
None of the photos or the video that circulated gave even the slightest indication that a single bodyguard was assigned to provide security for the Vice President and his wife.
But speaking on Kasapa FM Monday evening, Hon. Bryan Acheampong dismissed such claims saying the Vice President had a good security cover, adding nothing has been left to chance regarding Dr Bawumia’s security irrespective of wherever he is.
“Whoever thinks that there was no security operatives with Bawumia when he stepped out on the streets of London with his wife, Samira will be doing a big mistake. I can assure you that he had adequate security when he was out on the street of London. The security set up worked perfectly. There is an effective security detail with Dr Bawumia wherever he goes while in the UK. The Vice President has fully obeyed the security set up that had been put in place for him. So far, things have gone the way we planned.”
Meanwhile, Hon. Bryan Acheampong who is currently in London has revealed that Dr Bawumia will return to Ghana by Friday, February 2, 2018,
The Second gentleman of the land accompanied by his wife, Samira, left Ghana on Friday, 19th January 2018, for the United Kingdom for medical leave, on the advice of his doctors.
The Presidency had earlier on that Friday announced that the Vice President, on the day reported not feeling well and was attended to by his doctors and was in stable condition.
There was mixed reactions on social media about the decision to go public that the Vice President had taken ill. Whereas others think the announcement was right, others are of the view that it was needless.
Some sympathizers of the opposition National Democratic Congress took to social media to speculate about the health of the Vice President. Some other persons mischievously went to the extent of circulating a photoshoped autopsy report claiming he had died.

Most of the armed robbers in Ghana are located in Oyibi where they train. Most of them are students of the Valley View University, so the security and police must whatchout for them
I still smell a rotten fish here. I am still wondering if these photos were taken with an intended purpose of showing to Ghanaians that Bawumia is well and fit!! And otherwise, why did they not rather record him on video talking to Ghanaians and telling them how he was doing??? Would that not have been easier to believe?? He doesn't have to go out with or without security or anything like that. Maybe these are just some old pictures put in the media as a matter of urgency. Something don't add up properly here.
Peace fm reporters should please set the cameras and recorders at Adenta frafraha towards the commandos stretch of the area as the research institute is digging huge trenches and carting in piles of sand,blocks and chippings to wall off residents most of whom have been living there for the past 15years.Thier next step has been bringing in bulldozers and graders to start a demolition of over these 1000 homes. This has made the daily commute of over 1000 residents there unbearable as most of them cannot go to work with s one even taking leave off work for almost a week to protest.There is also the possibility of a clash with the youth and residents with a demonstration to their office this week.Politicians and civil society must act to avert any danger.Ghana has a housing deficit so if all these houses are demolished where will these people go?Many armed robbers,thiefs,prostitutes,unemployed,drunkards,drug addicts etc etc will be unleashed on society.
Barwumia's head has become small paaa ooo ...what is going on ?
@A Gyamfi. You appear ***barred word*** about security matters. You already said Bawumia is not known so why create a scene with a crowd of security detail around him. Can't his security be taken care of by undercover security detail?? Do you know who were available at where the camera did not cover?? Check your ignorance before you spk on security issues.
Needless mouth mouth. where was the security? Thank God no one is interested in harming Ghana's president or vice... and many even don't know them... you use mouth services to talk about security matters.... same thing your boss came out to say you have information on ALL potential terrorists in the Country or whatever he meant when he said "we have information on all of them"
