Mahama suspends Cyber Security Authority Boss over use of military bodyguard

President John Dramani Mahama has suspended the Director-General of the National Cyber Security Authority (NCSA), Divine Selasi Agbeti, for two weeks following allegations of misconduct involving a uniformed military officer.

Mr. Agbeti is accused of engaging the services of a uniformed military officer as his bodyguard during public engagements without proper authorization, an action that has reportedly caused unease within security circles and raised concerns about adherence to official protocols.

The suspension was communicated in a letter signed by the Secretary to the President, Dr. Callistus Mahama, and dated July 15, 2025. The correspondence expressed the President’s disappointment in Mr. Agbeti’s conduct.

The government described his conduct as “inappropriate and embarrassing to the government.”

According to sources close to the administration, internal investigations are ongoing, and additional disciplinary measures could be considered depending on the findings.

Mr. Agbeti was appointed in March 2025 to head the Cyber Security Authority, replacing Dr. Albert Antwi-Boasiako, who had served as Director-General since the Authority’s inception in 2017.
