Precisely a long time back today on May 9, 1967, two military officials: Lt. Samuel Arthur and Lt. Moses Yeboah, were executed by terminating crew at the Teshie Range after having been condemned to death on May 5, 1967.
The officials were condemned for their interest in an overthrow, which acquired them the name Operation Guitar Boy.
On April 17, 1967, Major General Emmanuel Kotoka, who was an individual from the decision National Liberation Council (NLC), which came to drive in Ghana in a tactical overthrow on February 24, 1966, was killed in a failed upset endeavour including the lesser officials.
The insubordination drove by Lt. Samuel Arthur, Lt. Moses Yeboah and Second Lt. Osei-Poku in Accra on April 17, 1967, brought about the passing of two warriors.
One of the two was Lt. General Emmanuel Kotoka, an individual from the decision National Liberation Council, who was killed by Lt. Moses Yeboah.
Code name "Activity Guitar Boy" saw Lt. Samuel Arthur admit to being the head of a 122-man observation unit that went after central issues in Accra before day break. Lt. Yeboah was his second-in-order at that point.
Lt. Samuel Arthur was seen as at legitimate fault for connivance against the state, going after Accra, and killing a skipper who would not give him the keys to an arsenal.
On account of Lt. Moses Yeboah, he was seen as at legitimate fault for connivance against the state, going after Accra, and killing Lt. Gen. Kotoka.
The two men were tracked down blameworthy all in all and condemned to death by the terminating crew.
The third official, 22-year-old Second Lt. Ebenezer Osei-Poku, was seen as a real fault for trick and disruption.
He was seen as not at fault for endeavouring to kill Lt. Gen. Joseph Ankrah, the executive of the National Liberation Council.
He was then imprisoned for quite some time with their sentences being perused out by the leader of the council, Air Marshal Michael Otu.
Lt. Osei-Poku was subsequently delivered by the tactical administration of General Ignatius Acheampong and later allowed an unrestricted and outright exculpation under the public authority of the Armed Forces Revolutionary Council (AFRC) in 1979.
Lt. Osei-Poku later affirmed before a National Reconciliation Commission hearing in 2003. He guaranteed that Lt. Samuel Arthur had "bamboozled" Lt. Moses Yeboah by illuminating him that the activity was an enemy of pirating activity and that Yeboah didn't understand that he had been important for an endeavour to remove the National Liberation Council (NLC).
