Boakye Gyan behind all killings not Rawlings | Kingsley Boateng 

I left Ghana 1977 because life wasn't easy we all left home very very young

Akatapore must be interview here. Even Boakye Gyan must come. 🤝

Why are you talking to someone who said he was 11 years old at the time of the coup. What can he contribute to the discussion except his opinion. Nothing factual. This man is as disgruntled as Rawlings was at the time. There is blood on his hands as those who ordered the killings of Ghanaians at the time. Those they killed had to be jailed not executed. Rawlings stayed in Ghana because he wouldn’t be able to study abroad. Rawlings was frustrated as he was going nowhere in the Ghana Army. He had failed his exams and was heavily in debt.

Kingsley is throughly making a sense here.

ANDY I THINK THIS ARE THE KIND OF PEOPLE YOU NEED TO BRING ON YOUR SHOW FOR CREDIBILITY THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING OUR HISTORY MUST BE ACCURATE FOR THE WHOLE WORLD TO HEAR MASTER GOD BLESS YOU AGAIN FOR THE TRUE ITS ONCE

I don't know this man, but I know most of the stories he is saying.

Please find ex sgt Gyimah and some of the boys company man and interview them. Some are outside Ghana. They will tell you how it was not how it might be.

one love from homeland .. great all time

It is funny how Ghanaians have been outwitted by these Machiavellian characters like Afrifa and Rawlings. They are all mirror reflections of each other, same personality traits. The lay man will not comprehend this. All they see is Afrifa is a hero or Rawlings is a hero, depending on which camp you are from, meanwhile these two had mastered the art of deception and were playing the game very well. Regrettably, one had to get shot at the end. These are very clever individuals. When Afrifa wrote a letter to Acheampong that he suspects they will be shot, all Ghanaians could read into the letter was that he had a premonition. Nonsense! He knew the game well and he was putting himself in the shoes of his potential enemies. So, he was working with intel nothing superstitious. He was no magician but a clever soldier. This was a man who graduated from the Royal Military Academy in Sandhurst. Rawlings just beat him to his own game. RAWLINGS and AFRIFA are the opposite sides of the same coin; Machiavellian and skilled in the Art of Deception. Eliminate your enemies or you get eliminated. Leave tribalism, family, religion out of this. It is just a dirty game. My fellow Africans, this is why you have to READ BOOKS, THINK, READ BOOKS and THINK otherwise just a few people will control your minds. Suffice to say, AFRIFA was no saint, same goes for Rawlings.

Treacherous group of people. Afrifa was Nkrumah’s golden boy. Acheampong was Busias golden boy who had incidentally been recommended to Busia by Afrifa. Kotoka was the main brain behind Nkrumah’s overthrow. Afrifa was his subordinate who was very popular with the troops. Akuffo was Acheampongs second in command. He betrayed his boss and allowed Rawlings and his cronies to march them all to their deaths. Acheampong warned them that there would be bloodshed in Ghana if his own side overthrew him. They didn’t listen. At the end he was the only one of the lot who had no fear. He even waved his white hankiie on his way to the shooting range.

I am much impressed with this guest. Very Analytical to issue. Mr host do your work and stop expressing your hatred for JJ Rawlings. 😂😂😂

Andy I am very disappointed for such a teenage to throw dirty dust on our history. What he is saying he heard it but didn't see it you see I have said this so many times those who read the books will not let those saw it as it was so the history books are flawed. This guy is the most breed lier.

Afrifa had to be taken out of , period..

KINGSLEY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR GENERATION I CAN CONFIRM THAT IT WAS THROUGH RAWLINGS ADMINISTRATION THAT GAVE MY HOMETOWN WATER ,ELECTRICITY AND A WHOLE LOT .GOD BLESS RAWLINGS WHO JAR BLESS NO ONE CURSE WE MUST KNOW THAT.

Andy stop hitting Rawlings u seed Rawlings hit jm kufuor whey are you hitting Rawlings

This guy was making some sense.

I don't think bringing someone who's not an insider during the coups could give us the clear picture of things that happened. We need insiders who can give us find hand information not hearsay.

He has nothing better to say, all he's doing is to defend JJ,

Very interesting interview

Even the President is not above the Law, bear that in mind.

Where is international criminal court ???

Time will surely catch up with all.

Let's Forget about the pass and think about the future. Pls pls I beg u .stop hitting the back 😢😢

Rawlings and Boakye gyan are still waiting for their trials soon.?????

How long did it take Rawlings to change the situation. Please tell us how long did he take to fix the country

This guy was just a very young kid during the early part of the period in question, and has no access to any concrete facts or reliable information to add much to the foundation of the subject matter. Too bad, the host is also very young although, his program is a major contribution towards learning about the ills of military rule in Ghana and in other countries in Africa.

The hatred for JJ Rawlings has manifested so well in the posture of Andy. He consistently pushes his guest to side with him in blaming JJ for all the wrong doings. I listened to the Interview granted with Adaduga and my question is if indeed JJ Rawlings is a "coward" and upon all your smartness and greatness as a soldier, after taken over GBC you still couldn't see the cowardness in Rawlings and still led him to make the pronouncement of the takeover. I can't still think, how JJ Rawlings being 'coward' will still remove him from jail by so called smart soldiers to lead the coup. Ah! 😂 You know the man is a coward and you still want him to lead. A coward was able to brainwashed you. Ah Ah Ah. Asem oo.

Look Andy be serious and bring credible people unto your program please.What did you want to achieve by inviting this personality on the program.Please please Information is very important and vital for public education.

This information is true for Ghanaians to hear 👂 that afrifa brought the downfall of Ghana 🇬🇭.??????This is very false information.??????.

You killing people and your own wife doing evil and you can not see where is your Justice please fair to Ghanains thanks

Eh this guy ?"Things start changing in 83" ? The hunger ? Rawlings Chain ? Banku cake? Kenkey water plus sugar ?hmmm.. no comments ... Who remembers 83?

Coup was let by Afrifa and kotoka.

Unfortunately, most of us have made up our minds not to accept the truth.

At the age of 12yrs how can you know all this including what is happening in the military let’s be real here! How many of you at the age of 20yrs knows what is happening in the military as of today? You know someone who was in the military to tell you the real story Andy

I always believe that. Afrifa was killed by the idea of Boakye Gyan

Sent

Domaahene , the chief with ' oversize Tongue ' aided Boakye Djan ! As Tribunal judge .

Haha! The youth of today are not stupid. Is Rawlings telling us he didn't know till date where Amedeka is hiding on this planet? C'mon! Amedeka ran away with the help of Jerry.

A typical liar trying to justify all these atrocities that went on smh. Andy doesn't want any downfall of Rawlings or whosoever but we want the truth. I've watched all his interviews and I can testify that Rawlings is guilty. Even from Rawlings own military comrades who were interviewed are all blaming Rawlings for the mastermind behind most of the execution that went on. Kingsley Boateng, please spare us with your defensive games and trying to blame Afrifa. What's good for the goose is also good for the gander

Andy, this man is a disgrace to your show. Gen. A. A. Afrifa never led a coup anywhere in Ghana. It was kingsley boateng's uncle Gen. E.K. Kotoka who led the coup against Dr.Kwame Nkrumah on the 24th February, 1966. He doesn't know what he is about.I he is a paid commentator. I want you to bring Chris Atim, Sgt. Alorga Akatapore, Zaya Yebo etc not this kind of people. He can not express himself. People avoid watching your show if you continue interviewing this type of illitrates.

IF YOU DO GOOD, YOU DO FOR YOURSELF AND IF YOU DO BAD YOU DO FOR YOURSELF...IF YOU TELL THE TRUTH KARMA IS THERE FOR YOU AND YOU TELL THE LIES, LIES WILL BE YOUR REWARD

If Rawlings and the PNDC were innocent in the killing of the judges, why didn't the PNDC trigger an Interpol alert to have Amedica arrested? The court never set captain Kojo Tsikata free, the SIB implicated him but the then-attorney general didn't prosecute him.

How does this character become authority on political upheavals in Ghana. He was only 12 years old. Andy, are you serious?

Let this guest come back and finish with the rating on Nana Addo ooo. Please Host Andy we beg you ooooo. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Nana Addo's rating is now in the negative figure ooo like -0.00236% 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

MOST PEOPLE HERE JUST HATE TO HEAR THE TRUTH, BECAUSE ITS BITTER BUT ONCE LET FACE THE REALITY ABOUT GHANA'S HISTORY AND STOP BEATING AROUND THE BUSH

First to watch and comment

They just trying to give Mr. Rawlings a bad reputation. I saw his video documentation and from what I've seen, what he did for Africa of it's time of corruption. He did what I always wanted to do if I had that power. No it's just jealousy, that's all that is.

Listen to me, the eye witness. After the overthrow of Nkrumah, the NLC headed by Emmanuel Kɔsi Kotoka appointed Gen. Ankrah as head of state and Afrifa was a member of that military junta. Afrifa wanted to be the head of state but he knew Kotoka was an impediment so he contracted Yɛboah and Arthur to kill Kotoka. They succeeded and he Afrifa became head of state and because of the popularity of Kotoka, people started suspecting foul play so in order to play a hidden agenda, he Afrifa quickly executed Yeboah and Arthur. Dead men don't reveal secrets. Afrifa supervised over the " KONKONSA" elections in 1969 and gave power to Busiah on a silver platter. What is good for the geese is equally good for the gander.

🙏🙏👂👂LET THE RULLERS OF THE COUNTRY AND THE LAND OF GHANA, STOP WITH PLAYING THE FOOL WITH THE COUNTRY AND BEGIN TO LOVE HER SERIOUSLY WITH THE FEARS OF THE ALMIGHTY LORD GOD?🙏👂👂👨‍❤️‍👨👨‍❤️‍👨👂👂👂🏃🏼‍♂️🏃🏼‍♂️🏃🏼‍♂️👥😁😁😮💥💥💥💥👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾✊🏼✊🏼💜💜❤🇬🇭❤🇬🇭🤲🏾🤲🏾🙏🤝🏽

What court!!!! is this guy talk. A kangaroo military court or what. Afrc was a military junta just like the smc1 and 2 Acheampong Akuffu regime, Afrc took over power and just like any military junta they were looking over their shoulders all the time, the resistance of general Odartey on that June 4 day was enough to tell them that the presence of the generals was just threat to them and they had to execute them to have a proper grip over power. Andy please tell this guy to forget about any kangaroo court he's talking about.

Ghana should never have a coup again cause it does not solve anything we need to solve our problems with diplomacy

The answers of this man are very embarrassing to the memories of the victims of the that useless revolution of 1979. Afrifa never ever did all the accusations you have levelled against him. Afrifa was murdered simply by hatredness. You said from the beginning of this interview that you were then 12 years old and, how come you know all the gong gongs you are beating to-day? Your narrativions are too cheap. l hope you can tell those who were very young and knew nothing about your story about term... ONE MAN ONE MATCHET which was the motto for the uprising which led to the arrest of J J Rawlings.

I Think always Andy want to hear thats Rawllings is guilty why???

Andy, a good journalist does not prejudge the people they interview. You seems to have concluded before your interview even started. As a UK trained lawyer, you have fallen short of expectation. I have watched all your series spending my precious time and the pattern is the same. You are hostile to those who do not tow your preconceived guilt of certain people. That's not how you approach this type of investigation.

Andy, this is telling you the truth. Even the officers you have interviewed can not explain things like that to the public because of security issues.

A waste of my precious time

At age 12, I dont think this guy is an authority on the coup events then in Ghana. He is merely saying what he heard not his personal experience.

To Go after Africa to answer a question.do you mean one had to take his life ?

A retaliatory force to failed coup by atta and yeboah.who killed kotoka.?????

No man is born a devil nor angel. People make them look like angels or devils. It is the society that has caused all the mess. If people were not looting and the poor weren't suffering all these wouldn't have happened.

U guys should forget this issues it was a military coup so some soldiers have to lose their lives u always talking about the generals at the same time those General's also killed alot of soldiers when they overthrown other governments so is normal in military

MR ANDY, IT WILL BETTER TO BRING BOAKYE GYAN AND KWEKU BAKU TO FACE EACH OTHER AND ASK THEM QUESTIONS ABOUT THE KILLING OF GENERALS AND JUDGES. WE GHANAIANS OUR HEARTS GO TO ALL THE INNOCENT MEN AND WOMEN THAT THEY KILLED FOR NO REASON. AND BRING CAPTAIN AWUNI , PLEASE BRING TO FACE EACH OTHER THE TRUTH WILL COME OUT MORE THAN WHAT THEY DID IN GHANA WHILE THE PANEL WERE SITTING DOWN AND LOOKING AT THEM LIEING ONE AFTER ANOTHER. ONE DAY JUDGEMENT WILL PREVAIL ON THE LAND OF GHANA ABOUT THIS KILLING. I WILL LIKE YOU TO KEEP ALL THE TAPES ABOUT YOUR INTERVIEW ABOVE THIS COWARDS COWARDS KILLERS. THANKS

kids facts

How could anybody personalized a constitutional or national issues..Right, JJ Rawlings appears to be the head of state of Ghana then. Their was a constitution that governs Ghana ,which also is binding on the President. Therefore, the Generals were overthrown, tried in a court or tribunal established by a Constitution,law or degree which was a document written and adopted by the people to govern then bcos without the constitution and its implementation, then there would've been break down of law and order, which will make the country ungovernable. The constitution was made to maintain law and order. So these Generals ran a corrupt and bad government. Infact, under their eatch Ghana was almost a failed Nation, which resulted to them been overthrown and in that light breached the constitution. And it's only lawful that whomsoever breaks the law needs to be brought to justice as required by the constitution and not as required by JJ Rawlings. Then they were given the opportunity to defend themselves before the court or tribunal and at the end they were found guilty bcos of their wrong doings which they couldn't defend before the court or tribunal. Had it been they were executed without trial, then JJ Rawlings would've been held accountable. But the country's constitution found them guilty and justice was served. So, JJ Rawlings had absolutely nothing to do with their death, rather they committed crimes against the people and the Nation and justice took it's cause. The Problem with Africa is ethnic, tribal and religious sentiments. We always tend to defend anybody who is our relative, friends, loved and or kinsmen, even if they did something wrong we will still continue to defend them. That's why Africa is impoverished, underdeveloped and backwards generally and until we eschew Nepotism, tribalism, primordial sentiment,greed and corruption. Africa can only move forward positively if African begin to make use of their best brians and substitute mediocrity for Merits, that's the only way Africa will be able to move forward positively.

Why exempt Rawlings

Who is this one too, masa andy don't just call in ................. ah why?

This guy is lying...were you born when Nkrumah was president? No, so how can you speak to what happened in the past

Some of these EWE people in Large extend will hardly wisen up.they love medeocrity and poverty.they defend everything.how can all these people who already came through the show be wrong and this Kingsley of a cornman be right?. Rawlings is guilty

This guy is not realistic. In Ghana at the age of 12, you aren't working and can't say things were bad in the country.

Unfortunately the guest’s submission is purely a hearsay because I was 15 years old then and was in secondary school form 3, I also heard these hearsay, but some of his submission do not carry weight and not factual, as compared to your earlier guests who were really in the thick of affairs, more over, he should have spoken his native language instead of English language

What about Trokosi Kotoka

Its true soldiers were uncontrollabe at one moment

Boakye Gyan was never the leader

Nawaooo!!! So, we are still looking for the killers eh? Perhaps the dead committed suicide.

Boakye was not behind the killings,Rawllings killed more people including Kyereme Djan

Please please bring credible people with good information, these man is not not not.

So why Ghanaian's don't tell the truth to let people the History of Ghana. Who gives money to Afirifa to over thrown Dr. Kwame Nkrumah?

ANDY behaves like he hated Rawlings deep down in his heart I'd I am right. But if so 🤷 and he refused to repent even after Rawlings is dead 💀 he will surely be judge for it one day

This guy is misinformed about Ghanaian politics period.????Rawlings was even a citizen of Ghana 🇬🇭.??????

Even his introduction tells me he knows nothing about the subject matter. How can a 10 or 12 year old talk on this. Don’t bring somebody like him talk again. I am a civilian but trust me, I know a lot about 79 and 81 and can even write a book about them because I was an insider.

Andy in 1979 some of us were grown ups. I was was 21yrs. Then what did a 12 year old knew then. His accent on the language tells me he is not a Ghanaian

Please I cannot understand why this teenager should be invited to talk about issues that happened before his birth even though some of the things he said were not far from the truth

WHO GAVE OUT CURFEW PASS?

See his stomach.

Andy..who is this guy???

You this crazy he telling the truth bro im from Liberia n government period are always benefiting from the country no matter where that at and im in the USA that happen every where

stop saying Generals...Afrifa, Acheampong promoted themselves after they got into power..Afrifa was a Major during Nkrumah coup..Kotoka was a Lt. Colonel...Acheampong was a Lt. Col...come on they all promoted themselves

I remember that time before AFRC came when Ghana was at the bottom of the pile. Ghana would have been like what Somali is today. No food , no soap , no sugar, nothing even maize was not in the market. Unless you are from the corrupt rich families then you will be among the millions of Ghanaians that time were poor. Without the AFRC Ghana was really a shit country in the true sense. Long Live Jerry Rawlings Long Live the AFRC

His not Defend JJ whatever he says is true,I was like 14 years the country was so hard we can’t even buy sugar like what we are experiencing today Ghana,whoever put ur hand in government money you will die for it,Ankara himself mentioned that Afifa went to kill him Boakye Gyan is not good person that is why he don’t like JJ

Pls Andy come and interview me I will do much better than innocent man

This 12 year old boy at the time don't even know how to pound/beat fu fu What he knows about the revolt .... Shame on you Andy

See these Ewe’s think we’re stupid!!! they’re the course of Ghanaians down fall and our problems

U said Afrifa hire Arthur and co to kill kotoka why didn’t he save their life and send them to be killed by firing squad

This Boateng guy was only 12 yrs old he didn’t know shit ,bring Akatapore and co .All those guys gotta face justice they part of the reason why Ghana is a shithole today

Hey my friend stop those nonsense there . You don't know anything. You were just a small boy. Andy bring on board better men for the program.

But man you say you were only 12yrs .

Tell me somthing Andy D, what actually do you want to achieve by intviewing those persons? I dont get it! Do we want history or who is to be blame? You direct your questions some ways. Do you want to bring those former milatary officers ot the "European court"?!? 😀😀... Come.on!! Lets stop pointing fingers on this person or the other... It was a critical period, things had to happen. I know you like history in his whole. Go and read the hustory of each of this big demcroatic countries; blood has to flow. And by the way are we not enjoying the fruit of thoses revolutions..

Yes Andy, this guy is on point

factually incorrect. am a bit confused 🤔

This story about Afrifa is a pack is too zigzag: Dr. Busia was elected to be come Prime Minister in the late 1969 and not in 1972 year as you stated. Afrifa was escorted from his home Town to be murdered by tribal sentiment and politically by Naval Officer Apalu and co. Later Apalu died horribly in a car accident on the Nsawam-Accra road.
