Tasiri was wrong

The Weekly insight says independent investigations have established that the claim by Ex-Sergeant Peter Tasiri, a member of the erstwhile Armed Forces Revolutionary Council (AFRC) that his colleague, Captain Baah Achamfuor, was the head of the team that buried the executed Generals, is false.

The paper quotes AFRC sources as saying Captain Baah Achamfuor was not even a member of the AFRC at the time of the first executions on June 16, 1979. According to the sources, the bodies of the Generals and all those who were executed were handed over to the prison authorities for burial and no AFRC member was involved.
