Burial places of Afrifa, Kutu and others revealed

Referring to petition to President John Kufuor by the widows and families of the eight executed senior military officers, including three former Heads of State, over the weekend, to exhume their bodies, the Dispatch says a book, WHEN GUN RULES - A Soldiers's Testimony by Col. K.A. Jackson (rtd), published nearly two years ago, reveals how the eight were picked up from Nsawam Prisons and how they were buried.

The book said they were buried at the Prisons Cemetery at Adoagyiri, Nsawam. The 249-page book is an insider's account that provides answers to many unanswered questions of the military rule between 1975 to 1979, covering the National Redemption Council (NEC); the Supreme Military Council (SMC) and the Armed Forces Revolutionary Council (AFRC).
