• President John Dramani Mahama suspended Divine Selasi Agbeti for flouting a law on the use of personal bodyguard
• Ghanaians on social media shared their thoughts on President Mahama’s action against his appointee

President John Dramani Mahama has suspended the Director-General of the National Cyber Security Authority (NCSA), Divine Selasi Agbeti, for a period of two weeks.

Divine Selasi Agbeti was suspended over an allegation that he had engaged the services of a uniformed military officer as a personal bodyguard during public appearances without the necessary authorisation.

The NSA boss’s action raised concerns about protocol breaches and national security procedures.

In a letter signed by Dr Callistus Mahama, Secretary to the President, it stated that the presidency was unhappy with Divine Selasi Agbeti’s action and condemned it.

The government indicated that his action was:

“Inappropriate and embarrassing to the government.”

The suspension period is intended to allow the relevant authorities to investigate the matter and determine any further disciplinary action.

Government insiders suggest that further disciplinary action could be taken depending on the outcome of ongoing internal investigations.

Divine Selasi Agbeti was appointed as Director-General of the Cyber Security Authority in March 2025, succeeding Dr. Albert Antwi-Boasiako, who had led the institution since 2017.
