As the Vice President alighted from her luxurious vehicle with her entourage, a citizen, reportedly a blogger, took out a smartphone and began recording her and her entourage as they made their way into the church.
The unidentified individual's actions angered Stan Xoese Dogbe, the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations at the Presidency, who shouted at the person to put the camera down, as it was against Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang's security protocol.
He later accompanied the Vice President inside the building and blocked other bloggers from taking more footage of her while she and her entourage went to take their seats.
