A Security analyst, Dr Adam Bonaa has said he never imagined that someone could fly a drone across the seat of government, the Jubilee House.
He explained that the Jubilee House is supposed to be a security zone because that is where the First and Second Gentlemen of the country operate from.
Any drone that is flown across the place is short down by the security and the owners arrested for prosecution, he added.
This happens in almost every jurisdiction where drones are flown across the seats of government.
Dr Bonaa was commenting on the controversial music video shot by American rapper Meek Mill.
He told TV3 that “As a country, we are capable of allowing or doing a lot of things but I never expected that we will get to a point that a diasporan entertainer will walk into and literally fly drones across Jubilee House.
“Jubilee House is supposed to be one of the areas that aircraft, at a certain height, cannot go, you will want to define it as a no flight zone.
“To that extent, if you as a media person, you dared to fly a drone or something for news purposes into the area, chances are that they will shoot it down and whoever it belongs to will be prosecuted. This is not limited to only Ghana, it is everywhere because that is the seat of government, that is the seat of the executive where you have the first and second gentlemen of the land.”
Following public uproar, Meek Mill apologized for the controversial music video and has since deleted it.
In a tweet, Meek Mill said, “my apologies to the people if any disrespected. We still gonna push to make the connection between black people in America and Africa.. What I’m trying to do is more than a video and you should see coming soon. My apologies to the office [of the President] also”.
Meek Mill visited Ghana and performed at the AfroNation concert on Thursday, December 29, 2022.
