    I must say as for Afrfa he deserves to die. He betrayed not just Ghana but the whole of Africa. He however should have been given a proper trial so that everyone can see what he did to Africa. Look at even name, AFRIFA only t ...

    Yes he was dodgy fellow for sure. He thought he could manipulate minds- but I for one saw through him. I have sympathy for afrifa though- they were coup makers who killed other’s anyway. Rawlings got away though.

  • Observer 1 week ago

    I hear Rawlings didn't get away. Haven't you heard the conspiracy theories. They say his execution was in private. So justice was done if true

  • Louis Appiah 1 week ago

    Military intelligence, they say is a contradiction in terms. In Ghana all successful coup makers never enjoined full life.

    None of these reached 55 years of age:

    1. Kotoka
    2. Afrifa
    3. Acheampong
    4. Akuffo

    @Seth, General Kotoka was picked up from the 37 Military Hospital where he was recovering by Lt. Yeboah. He took him to the outskirts of the airport and shot him, and that is why the airport was named after him.
