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Samson says that suit was withdrawn earlier this year after the Attorney-General (A-G) called for an amicable settlement."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has declared the status of the US citizens as an illegality, why did the Attorney General beg that the issue should be withdrawn from court.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.

As an ardent follower of Acca reat Olympics, I ave no qualms with the State burying our legend. My bit of a worry is the SSNIT probe of yesteryear which revealed that he made a false insurance claim.
My little boy may grow to be a good basketballer but, imitating Sir Jones, may find a way to dupe the state.
Perhaps he waiver "because of his immense contribution to ghana soccer" will hold sway.

They're more than jokers,they always think of how to waste state money on these kind of things,they will soon be asking the government to give state burial to every dog that dies but they will not ask for development of the country.

How many countries in the world give state burial to people because they were football players and coaches?

Some people are always in the habit of making unrealistic demands from government.

May he rest in peace.

As much as the honourable Attuquayefios's contribution to Ghana football is undeniable, it is indeed a big joke to ask for a state burial. State burials in most civilized countries are reserved for very few persons for. eg. a sitting head of state. I am surprised a seemingly level-headed man like Amoaning would put forward such a suggestion. As for the old Osei Kofi, a lot of bull shit has been coming out of the man. A proper thing to do is for the state to make a little contribution to his funeral, be represented and read a Speech to eulogise him. That's all. Some Ghanaians are just big fools. State burials here and there. Go to the Western world and learn!

Did state give him a state living when he was alive?
did state care abt where he stayed, ate, health, well been of his family.etc. we need to appreciate the good works of the living not the dead

What do we understand by state burial? Yes ,he contributed to sports so...? Then we will give state burial to all who contributed in other fields like academia, politics and other service areas. This is not necessary. Let the state contribute to his burial, simple.

Yes, when you have a sitting gov't that does not understand what is call a State burial, and offered a BBC worker Komla Rumor a state burial who did not contribute noting to Ghana compared to Attuquayefio. Than Attuquayefio deserves State burial. We have a president who is illiterate when it come decision making. Attuquayefio far deserves a state burial more than Komla Dumor.

There has to be some criteria for who deserves a state burial and that should be supported by legislation. Absent that, everyone will be demanding a state burial for any person with a certain amount of contribution to Ghana. Should Jones Attuquayfio be accorded a state burial because of his football contributions to the nation?
