On 26th June 1979, the AFRC drove by Flight Lieutenant Jerry John Rawlings censured six (6) Generals to death.
1. Back Admiral Amedome who was the Navy Commander was accused of gathering 50,000 cedis credit.
2. General Okatakyie Amankwa Afrifa, a Head of state between 1968-1969 nnnwas hauled from his homestead in Mampong and executed.
3. Gen FWK Akuffo, Head of state 1978-79; the mild-mannered and rich fighter who looked for shelter in the place of the Archbishop of Accra who thus argued for leniency, however it failed to be noticed as Jerry John was hellbent on vengeance for his "looming execution."
4. General Kotei, delegate Head of State and Chief of Defense Staff who had before left the system got back from London on the third of June just for the upset to occur on the fourth thus turned into a loss.
5. Air Vice Marshall Yaw Boakye, the Air Force officer; an honorable man second to none was likewise killed despite the fact that he supported Jerry John to breeze through his test to turn into a Flight Lieutenant. Indeed! Rawlings had flopped two times in past assessments yet he [Boakye] wasn't saved despite the fact that J.J himself alluded to him as adoptive parent. How awful! He even argued "???? ??? ? ???? ??? ????? ?? ????" yet men like Commander Apaloo rejected.
6. The most youthful of the part, 38-year old ??????? ????? ?????, Commissioner for Foreign Affairs and a right hand man of General Acheampong was in his old neighborhood in Navorongo when the upset occurred. He got the opportunity to cross the boundary to Burkina Faso however he declined on the premise that he was guiltless. He came to Accra and gave himself in just to fall under the control of the Kangaroo Court of the AFRC.
NB: Ten (10) days sooner (sixteenth June, 1979), General kutu Acheampong, Military Head of State (1972-78) and General Utuka had been executed by the murderous AFRC outlaws.
It's likewise qualified to take note of that on the fourth of June 1979, General Odartey Wellington, the then Army Commander had been gunned down in the city of Nima. Colonel Emmanuel Enningful who was a legal counselor and leader of the Support Services and Chairman of the Military Tribunal had been executed with his better half at their home; before their youngsters. Horrible!
This is the unaltered record which is factful and which ought to be told to the harmony cherishing individuals of Ghana!
May the spirits of the Generals live on in harmony!
