If you want to know those behind the killing of the two American citizens in Akosombo then read this. According to the story" The two who are leaders of the African American community in Akwamu were recently accused by the Chieftaincy Minister, Dr. Seidu Danaa, of illegally acting as chiefs."
"Private legal practitioner, Samson Lardy Anyenini late last year brought a suit on behalf of the leaders and against the Chieftaincy Minister whom they alleged had supported one Osofo to mistreat them using national security.

The Osofo was named in the suit as claiming right to the symbolic stool and skin created by the national house of chiefs to reintegrate disaporians.

Samson says that suit was withdrawn earlier this year after the Attorney-General (A-G) called for an amicable settlement."
The question is if the government has declared the status of the US citizens as an illegality, why did the Attorney General beg that the issue should be withdrawn from court. The answer is simple. Withdraw the case, kill the Afro Americans and case die.
I promise, The blood of these Afro Americans shall not be in vain. I will fight till the end.

My greatest memory of Sir Jones was as an elementary school boy, the same year another Ghanaian soccer legend Robert Mensah went into glory. That year Asante Kotoko, my idol club was defending the African Champions cup they won the previous year. Accra Great Olympics with Sir John as their captain won the league in Ghana and was representing Ghana in the African Champions league too. Both Ghanaian clubs got to the semi-final stage, and were paired at that stage of the competition. My best memory of him was not as a coach, but as a soccer maestro leading his troops Great Olympics on the war path against Asante Kotoko. As a small school boy, he put fear in me and many Kotoko supporters. He was a master schemer and tactician on the field. Indeed, a doyen of Ghana sports has fallen. Please, if anybody has a picture of him in his youth, and playing days, can you post it for the sake of Ghanaians in the diaspora. We will like to remember him as such.
Fare thee well, Sir Jones. May your soul rest in perfect peace. YES SIR, SIR JONES!!!!! REAL GHANA LEGEND. WE MOURN YOUR PASSING!!!!!.

Ghana has lost a great man of football. This man understood the rethem of football and had the vision and clue to control fooball when he was part of the playing body of football in Ghana.He showed his ingenuity second to none when he became an a Ghanaian International football trainer when he coached teams both home and abroad to show to the world that he was a football gem who exhibited his God given tallents and skills to amase both his fans and foes.It would be very defficult for Ghana to obtain a person of his calibre in our present football system,even though,some of the big teams of Ghana may have had seemingly tallented footballers like the legendary Osei Kofi, Dogo Moro, Baba Yara of blessed memory, none of them could translate the God given tallents offered them practically than the late Cecill Atuquaifio who transformed footballing both on international and local levels. The presnt generation should endeavour to tap the kind of tallents Sir Cecil Jones Attuquaifio has left behind to improve football in our country. May his soul rest in perfect peace.
