Director-General of the National Cyber Security Authority (NCSA), Divine Selasi Agbeti
President John Dramani Mahama has suspended the Director-General of the National Cyber Security Authority (NCSA), Divine Selasi Agbeti, for two weeks over alleged misconduct involving a uniformed military officer.
Agbeti is alleged to have used the military officer as a personal bodyguard during public appearances without obtaining the necessary clearance. The action has raised concerns about protocol breaches and national security procedures.
According to a citinewsroom.com report, a letter signed by Dr Callistus Mahama, Secretary to the President, and dated July 15, 2025, conveyed the presidency’s strong disapproval of Agbeti’s actions, describing his conduct as “inappropriate and embarrassing to the government.”
Defence Minister Dr Omane Boamah had earlier issued a directive warning state officials against using military personnel as personal bodyguards without official clearance.
Government insiders suggest that further disciplinary action could be taken depending on the outcome of ongoing internal investigations.
Agbeti was appointed Director-General of the NCSA in March 2025, succeeding Dr Albert Antwi-Boasiako, who had led the authority since its establishment in 2017.
