Commodore Duodu NOT Cameron Duodu -GNA

Tue, 9 Dec 2003 Source: --

The Duodu, who was mentioned by Squadron Leader George Tagoe as one of those behind the executions at the Nsawam Prisons was Mr Commodore Duodu, a chemist and not Mr Cameron Duodu, the Journalist.

The GNA had inadvertently reported that Squadron Leader Tagoe during his evidence before the National Reconciliation Commission (NRC) on April 14, 2003, named Mr Cameron Duodu, a renown Journalist, as one of the 13 people, who were behind the arrest and execution of seven top Military Officers after the June 4, 1979 Uprising.

Mr Cameron Duodu denied his involvement in a rejoinder, which the GNA carried on April 15, 2003.

The GNA has taken a further step to get the verbatim recording from the Director of Public Affairs of NRC, Ms Annie Anipah and it came out clearly that Squadron Leader Tagoe mentioned the name of Mr Commodore Duodu, a chemist, and not Mr Cameron Duodu the Journalist.

Mr Cameron Duodu in his rejoinder to the GNA said: "I have read with shock and utter disbelief a statement that Squadron leader George Tagoe is reported to have made to the NRC, in which he mentions me as one of '13 people, who were behind the arrest and execution of the seven top Military Officers after the June 4 1979 Uprising.'"

Mr Cameron Duodu said: "If Squadron Leader Tagoe did indeed make such a statement, then he is under a delusion of some sort. Obviously any one can make a mistake and I do hope Squadron Leader Tagoe will accept that he has made one in this instance and retract his untrue statement."
