You are too young or ignorant to understand the events that led to June 4 and the subsequent second coup. I don’t hold breath for crimes committed during those times but we are seeing similar events now. I am old enough to know this. We are in 1979/1981 and Ghanaians are sick and tired of their government’s corruption. Don’t refer to historical events you barely understand.

If it should have been Akuffo Addo, he would have instructed the IGP to arrest the small boy, you see, the military leader didn't act that way, God bless all military leaders

All these people were corrupted people in Ghana. Kwame Nkrumah started corruption in Ghana after the independence that is why Ghana and Africans are corrupted people. The foundation of Ghana was totally wrong. We did not get the right foundation. Do we have leaders in Ghana? No Look at our rivers, lands, and vegetations destroyed by galamsey. Our problems in Ghana are able thinkers. Why the CID, police, and military can't fight galamseyers? We don't have able thinkers to govern Ghana or Africa. Who is responsible to fight galamsey, corruption, mismanagements, and crimes? The minister of interior, CID, police, judges, president and politicians don't care the destructions of our rivers in Ghana. Galamsey has killed all fishes in our rivers. We don't have capable leaders to make laws work in the country. The country has become like animal farm. What is the job of Ghana military? Why government don't use them to protect the country to stop galamsey? What is wrong with our leaders at all? They only thinking of winning election to steal money that is all Africa has a long way to go. We can't rule ourselves period.

Acheampong was a real soldier, CAN you imagine a General in the military listening to some little boy on security issues. Nonsense. They killed him because he was a strong Ashanti man. Never again. That's why they've employed people like kevin Taylor to insult our elders. We will never vote for Mahama.

Yes, that was a leader we unjustifiably despised and killed. Both the NDC and NPP are guilty of this. With hindsight and posterity staring at us, we are regretting the heinous crime we as a whole committed against this innocent soul. Governments in this 4th republic are struggling to achieve what the General achieved during his time. He did all that with our internally generated funds, no borrowing from bilaterals or multilaterals. Yet he undertook many development projects that were and are still useful to the nation. Let's pause and ask ourselves what the situation is like today. These useless 4th republic governments have choked Mother Ghana with loans, worst of them all being this inept and corrupt Akufo Addo - Bawumia government which has borrowed and yet has borrowed more than all the governments put together, yet they have nothing to show or it. May the soul of the General rest in perfect peace.
