Capt Joe Awuni (Rtd) - his encounter with JJ Rawlings, Charles Taylor and his arrest 

Capt Awuni is a very rare breed of man. A man of integrity prepared to suffer for his convictions. It’s scary to hear how volatile the atmosphere was at the time. We must thank God for the peace in Ghana now. We must pray we never see those times again

Five years and I keep watching this great interview with captain Joe Awuni

Waaaooow Capt Awuni you are very intelligent soldier. I thank God for your life

I personally would like to meet Capt. Joe Baba Awuni(RTD). Truth be told, I have enjoyed every bit of his interview.

3 yrs already and I always come back watching this video..a great story teller indeed.

Lawyer Andy we love your programe, but please be reminded that we are not in court, kindly minimize your interruptions when your guest is flowing. hope to see an upgraded version of your interview. Big ups

Baba is a prolific narrator of events.We have alpha men in Ghana.God bless our men, God bless Ghana.

Such a great guy you are Andy had a pleasure of meeting you in Ghana and it was great keep it up

This man is an intelligent soldier....nice 1

Andy thanks very much for this wonderful program very interesting

A very good story teller. Enjoyed every moment

Awuni is the smooth, disciplined and straight laced type who was trained to follow authority and orders. The type who would not get himself into unnecessary fracas or trouble with his superiors and system. A conformist and a fine man. A man of deep understanding.

This man is very intelligent and brave. Proud northerner

woow love this man , Capt Joe Awuni (Rtd) well done

I can make a whole movie about Capt awuni story based solely on this interview, too detailed, with visual graphics, like am literally reading a book or watching a movie. I plan on seeing or making a movie or starring as him in a movie one day, Mark my words Ghana

I just love this man. Well experienced soldier!

Am enjoying the conversation,feels like I was there❤️

Really enjoyed the interview,good narratives on the past events in #Ghana

This is revealing . Keep up the good job in letting us know about the untold historical events that took place in some contemporary epoch of our national development.many more have played similar roles and suffered the same fate .Bring them on board for us to hear them.

Thank you Andy for making this history known to us.

I love this program

This is so interesting to watch. The guest is too eloquent and a good narrator as well. Good job, Andy esq

Very elaborate, clear and consistent....Big ups captain

Seriously all your interviews should be compiled for a movie

ANDY NICE PROGRAM , PLEASE GIVE US MORE OF THIS SINCE WE CANT GET SUCH PRICELESS HISTORY ANY WHERE NOT EVEN ON GOOGLE AND GHANA WEB , IF YOU CAN CAN YOU DO AN INTERVIEW ON THE 1979 FIRING SQUAD MURDERS OF ACHEANPONG , FELI AND CO AT THE TESHIE RANGE

Capt Joe Awuni is a perfect, intelligent and smart soldier, better than others army officers, hence he was set and framed up. J.J. Rawlings ,should GO,down on his for this guy.ThankGod.

wow, this is a real soldier, loyal to his duty and conscience

When I watch this kind of interview from these Gentlemen. I said to my self Ghana was and is blessed to have such an intelligent and finest personnels

Well done sir, you have a good heart and God richly bless you, you have earned my great respect, salute you sir.

I respect this uncle a lot he is very intelligent Man I wish I can get close to him.

Wow....memories!!! I remembered those days were scary my bro was then among the group who fought with the likes of Alpha, Danjuman and Nelson who was very light skinned behind my childhood home in Mamobi. That’s if he’s the same who served Capt. with the rice.

this guy is an excellent story teller. He should start publishing

This Capt. Awuni is brilliant and confident; I like him. I used to love Rawlings but having heard a lot from Ghanaian, I think he should be brought to justice because he was/is a beast. Ironically, most of my fellow Nigerians still adore Rawlings.

Andy I think some of ur questions aren't necessary. Please minimize ur interruption for us to enjoy the interview.

Great interview👈👌👌👌

Omg😍😍😍I just love you my lawyer another 1 ..keep it up may God Bless you... handsome lawyer be that..haters will always hate keep doing you my dear!

This is true history!

That opening theme song is so Ghanaian!! Love it!

A great film can come out of this

woooow....this should be a movie. we can talk about those sweet boots later

Keep up the good job. Memories, how my daddy was beating during pndc time.

Would be an AMAZING FILM.Great Narrator -Kwabotwe man

Good programme and revealing but your interruptions does't help the flow of the narration. I understand you need to guide the interview but one key thing I've realised is your unnecessary interruptions

andy i love your interview however i wish you can slow down with the questions and allow him to tell his story without constantly interrupting with questions

Awwww...... I am stunned

Hahahaaaaa! This helicopter story is so hilarious. The capt is good with his narrations.

these is real ghanaian history that have to be properly told . we need a movie about this incidence after the 79 coup.

Worth hearing

Andy you gotta go find Akatapore ‘cuz his name comes up a lot

a gentleman. well done .

Andy I really like and enjoy your program coz more secrets are now coming to light.

Very great program. Thank you. How can some one support this program?

I am dying to know what happened to those jailed at usher fort? I am impressed about your mental fortitude in the handling of the tacks put on your plate.

Wow .what a story ????

Here is the quality of officers that we had in our army - gentlemen and civilised.

Chris Atim and Alolga Akatapore must be on this platform if they are still alive.

Andy you are too gentle for this programme, you need to ask questions and stop smiling this is not a joke.

Andy you really need to check your interviewing skills; please allow your guests to speak and finish what they have to say before bringing in an unrelated question. Your interruption can be a bit irritating for we the viewers and even the interviewee.

I'm now understood why some peoples hate ..Rawlings

Wooow Capt Awuni. You are a real soldier. Not like those evil ones JJ. Greetings from Akim Oda.

Andy I like your program but you interrupt toooo much aaba! Let them flow with the story please.

Andy, how do I get a copy of Nana Chris Asha's book to buy. Am in US.

Andy D I really like your program very well for revealing the past into this present days....I appreciate your efforts so much but my problems is that your questions can not be answered “NO”

Thank you Andy for a wonderful video, but I think you missed some questions; 1.Who were the pilots of the helicopter mentioned at the beginning of the video who flew Capt Awuni from the Castle to Gondar barracks? Did he know their names? 2.On the flight from the Castle to the Gondar barracks were the pilots seemingly communicating with anyone? 3.At the time of the problem what was Major Yaache’s office, duty or command? 4.When he (Capt Awuni) collected the weapons from Akata-Pore and co, what did he do with them? Observation: The mistake we all Ghanaians made for all this time is that Rawlings behaves just like a mafia boss. He talks and give s instructions in a round- about fashion and also plans far ahead so that when the murder becomes public, nothing can be pinned on him. The way JJR got Capt Awuni involved in the disarming of the Akata-Pore gang is a classical example. Don’t be deceived, Rawlings DID want those killed to be killed. He just plants a seed in the minds of the eventual perpetrator and leads him gently to the final conclusion, so that he can deny his involvement. It’s interesting how Capt Awuni never addresses Quainoo without any rank. Even junior officers and other ranks are addressed by rank.

The real men were from the North

Irrelevant and pointless interruptions by the host is actually spoiling the flow . This is priceless history that has never been revealed. Andy, I appreciated you bringing this interviews to us but listening to your constant unnecessary interruption makes it such a chore. You're asking questions like this it happened just last week, remember this happened over 30 years ago.

Where can I get this book to buy?

Andy learn how to interview full stop. U bring great guest but u spoil their flow. Captain just give us the 2nd story and forget Andy. Andy u ask funny questions lol.

Nice interview. If you get an opportunity to interview another person of the revolution, ask why Felli was murdered.

I've enjoyed this interview but most questions kill the story line

Very interesting story. Hmmm

This Interview should have happened when Ur JJ was alive and many others. This officer is one of the best and trustworthy officers Ghana ever had.

Please can you ask Mr. Matthew if he knows about the whereabout of Amedeka

Captain Awuni is a brave man and I’ve learnt a lot from him . He’s a true hero

andy i like what you're doing.. but i think its best you just sit and let them talk.. these interjections are painful.. this is not the court room please

Mr Andy, It will be nice if you can bring back some of them to meet Personally to share their experiences in the Military and all tha happened to them they all need to write a book that can be used as a history for our country. Starting from 24th February 1966,1972, 1978,79 , the book can be used to teach students what happened when they were not born. I myself watching this program I have Learned a lot watching the military men telling this fascinating story about RAWLINGS and dominated military officers.And still people are still supporting him. THANKS

Another question you missed, Andy; What did Rawlings mean when he said 'The whole of Burma Camp is surrounded by people with bows and arrows'? You see how two-tongued Rawlings is? You see how he plays the ethnic card? And yet when he is on platform with a mike he will first start castigating people about using tribalism to wreak havoc in the country. It is just like being abroad. As soon as someone treats you unfairly they quickly say '...I am not a racist.' Ah! What a thing to say! 'The whole of Burma Camp is surrounded by people with bows and arrows!' When the Captain said it, I was waiting to hear what he found at Burma Camp. You also see how Rawlings speaks indirectly with insinuations and code? That way, he can always deny what was implied. I will post examples on the video dealing with the killing of the judges.

I really love this documentary and that of Adomako Nyamekye. This Rawlings man, hmmmmmmm.

ADOMAKU NYAMEKYE'S STORY DIRECTLY CONFLICTS THE STORY THIS OUR GALLANT CAPTAIN TELLS US....SOME OF THE STORIES SAY HE WAS INVOLVED IN THE COUP PLOT.......WE MAY NEVER KNOW THE TRUTH.....

Hi Andy D big ups to your show continue to keep us inform about all the atrocities that happened during the evil reigns of Jerry John Rawlings

I think Andy thinks he is in the courts... he asks questions like he is in court. Love this history though!

A true soldier.

I’m still here September 1, 2023

Andy, you are a great GUY. KINDLY WORK ON YOUR INTERVIEWING SKILLS. This can be a world class show.KINDLY GET IN TOUCH WITH ME IF YOU THINK MY SUGGESTION IS GOOD.

I know Chris Usher at Oda, school with his Son at Hecta international Mr Usher was a lawyer n very powerful at that time, he got off back to Oda, later kill a man n went to exile, his son was Usher Konto,, like father like Son,,,,JJ cant handle him, he's a tough guy,,,,

why didn't caption Awuni return to the castle the next day after performing his duties right on time, in order to get out of this mess.

Awuni did what any soldier would have done for his NCOs!

I hope his story is accurate, seems very detailed. Kudos if he can still remember every detail after almost 40yrs...hmmm 🙄

What a shame. To humiliate decent people like this.

Nice documentary but with the narration this man is giving, he shouldn’t have been interrupted that many times

.Excellent interview, I agree with most things he said except 2:35 Gen Arnold Quainoo was a graduate of the US Army Ranger school and I highly doubt he was scared or hadn’t been through worse situations! He was just pissed off. At that point in his career he wasn’t expected to be dealing with such crap!

WHY ALL THIS UNNECESSARY QUESTIONS AND INTERPRETING. PLEASE LET HIM TO EXPRESS SMALL . .ABEG

Andy...some of your questions undermine military training

Oh my God ,some people were more ghanaians than others so sad

My grandmaa was kenke seller at that time at bolga barras.when people come to eat without take money from some of them.she hate JJ so much and Ndc😢🇬🇭

I think you should write a book on the June 4th uprising to summarize the outcomes from all this interviews so we can have a documented reference and forwarded by these living witnesses

Andy why didn't you ask him what happened to the soldier that were sent to the Usher fort? We they released, killed or broke jail?

Please if you ask a question there is a story to it so let him tell the story before asking him other questions.

Andy we know you’re managing your time, but the way you cut them is bad

Bad interviewer but good interviewee. Andy u need to get proper training. Too bad
