This is a very educative documentary. I am glad to have heard and this thing. It’s necessary in shaping ideas about some personalities in our political environment. Thanks to joy media
Thank YOu Joy news I have always wanted to know what June 4th is all about. YOu couldn't have presented this any better. Keep the good work and for the perpetrators of the heinous crimes History would remember you for who you are and thankfully some of you are still alive you wake up every day and you are haunted by memories of your own actions. God Bless Ghana
Well done JoyNews. Ghanians always want to sweep everything under the carpet and pretend as if nothing ever happend. Always forgive and forget. You can't forgive and forget evil, useless killings done on to human beings. Rawllings and the others should be jaild. This should serve as a deterrent to never do any evil crime to any human being. You have to name and shame the ghanian because he can never take accountability for his actions.
The oil price increases of 1974 & 1979 took a great toll on the economies of non-oil producing countries such as Ghana. This was brought about by the Arab-Israeli conflicts/war. Prices of all imports sky-rocketed. This brought about the hyper-inflation, scarcities, hardships, impoverishment that we experienced. If we did not take into account external factors on the economy, all policies were bound to be wrong. Human rights abuses, including bombing of markets, whipping of market women, killing of innocent people, etc. were all myopic. We found scape-goats in the Army Generals who had staged coups d'etats anyway, in 1972 & 1966. Going forward, we need to take into account external factors. Covid-19 is one.
Wow. I'm totally speechless. I knew Ghana has such a terrible history but I would never have imagined it to be this bad. In fact I'm very sad. I pray all victims of past atrocities finally get the peace and justice they deserve.
I was nine years old and watched on my grandfather's black and white television,the execution of general acheanpo g and utuka early in the morning. What sort of wickedness is that!
The people who overthrew Nkrumah are a direct product of NPP .. Talk Less and learn more .. The overthrew of Nkrumah was the downfall of Ghana and NPP caused it !
@@FactsReelsOnline Nkrumah caused the downfall of Ghana and himself. Obssessed with being the president of Africa and gifting Ghana's resources to others and being a dictator. We all look at history from different lenses Nkrumah was a demi-god to some who saw nothing wrong with him but blame others for his bad leadership
Safoaa it doesn’t justify his overthrow and humiliating end in Conakry. Dr. Nkrumah was our neighbour in Conakry corniche. To this day, l remember the strains of exil in this face of that proud man. I wished they have executed every single bastard in his downfall. They betrayed Ghana and Africa. Ils étaient des cancers au continent africain.
Rawlings should swallow his pride and ask the loved ones of the killed generals for forgiveness. Corruption today is worse than what the men were executed for . Besides even Rawlings children would have protested if Rawlings was tied to the stake and shot without any trial.
@Yaw Kissi He was the head of state. He was the one who give the orders for the executions. He should just accept his mistakes. He even killed those who brought him to power. As a dictator, when you fell that your life is in the danger, you must eliminate the suspects. The main reason that Rawlings switched from military to a democracy state was for his own safety. With the immunity, you press charges that he committed during this time.
Don't mind their nonsense!! They're all fools who were craving for power and wealth. See how stupid they sound like 'the threw 96 people on us' as if people from Benin brought them the names to them or a census was conducted to bring to birth such names. Shm.. This JJ and Tsatsu Ghana couldn't bring them to book ee
Good piece of work. Congratulations to JoyNews for this Special Assignment. My concern however is that, Former President Rawlings is alive but was not interviewed as the likes of Maj. Boakye Djan, Major Rida and the others were. Any reason for that?
was gonna ask the same question. Kwabena Tasty, it's hard to believe he would decline to be interviewed unless he thinks that minds have been made up and nothing he has to say would matter to those minds. there could be many other reasons as to why he wasn't interviewed. For a week or so now, I've been watching and reading all related materials. In some accounts, Rawllings was the bad guy. In others, you can tell they are speaking from a place of anger and their parts of story sounded fabricated or exaggerated. Shouldn't that be enough to make someone want to clear his name? I'm yet to find the video of when he went to speak at the National Reconciliation Council
Did he say the Snr Officers used fear on the people. He was sending peple 5am to beat people in their homes He is telling a story about his personal EMOTIONS and assuming it s the story of the whole armed forces
These Atrocities committed by our soldiers at that time of such Indiscipline during these called Revulsion is / are unpardonable-- soldiers must be made to pay 4 the crime. Shame unto the Military. There is a code of Discipline for people in the service of Police and the Military. NO MONETARY COMPENSATION will make up for such a crime.
The most undeniable truth here was told by Lt. Gen. Erskine :” we nearly lost our armed forces” When junior soldiers have eliminated their seniors , the rank and file becomes extinct. Everyone does as he pleases
So that clearly means GN Willington rather saves lifes by telling ADC to surrender. Indeed you have been sacrificed to save lives of the mass. You will forever be the Hero that you are and not the villain Rawlings

You stayed in power for more than 20 years.
So after executing the generals for being corrupt,has corruption ceased in Ghana? Boakye Gyan and other AFRC members alive must ask God for forgiveness. You see,when the brother kyereme Gyan was killed by his best friend,the late JJ, he became embittered up to today. Judgement awaits all of us.
After all this bitter memories and experiences, ghanaian leaders has never learned any lessons from them. They are still calling for another one with their corrupt behaviors.
The killing in Ghana through military and in politics ,was established by Gen.Afrifa and his cronies first in the history of Ghana,Rawlings and Kojo Tiskata.
JJ Rawlings saved Ghana. The Corruption we’re witnessing today needs another JJ Rawlings. another revolution! only the corrupt and a certain tribe in this country hates Papa J.
He saved you and your kind, but you still complain of hardship from every government that comes to power because of your laziness. Ashantis still remains a nightmare to you. You're free to mention the name, Ashanti, you coward.
I think all military camps should be moved from Accra to somewhere like Afram plains, they have no business in politics. A lot of them have no knowledge how a country is run.
Rawlings should stop his nonsense. Who introduced fear into the governance culture of Ghana. He did with his numerous curfews almost every night for 2 to 3 years straight. Rawlings must pay for all this mess. Jerry John Rawlings is Ghana greatest con man. Shame on him.
Rawlings is a real mafia. He knew Ghanaians were cowards so he took advantage of their fear of soldiers. He was able to rule Ghana for almost 20 years all because Ghanaians were not brave enough to fight back. If it was a different country, Rawlings could have been made to face the firing squad himself because the second coup was very unconstitutional.
So who where the exact soldiers of the firing squad who did the shooting of the generals. How did they feel ? I would have resigned off I was a member off the firing squad. Seriously I couldn't have shot general Utuka. What did he do???????????????
The documentary makes Ghanaians look like she mad people. Cos they were in support of everything. So who do we blame? There was jubilation at Nkrumah's overthrow. Everything looked like the influencial people had to deal with mad people
I’m hoping he is N he could be that man he pretends to be and come out n accept his mistakes n ask for forgivenesses After all he won’t and can’t be prosecuted😔
Petit Ben He was lied to into believing everything was ok by the ppl around him Meanwhile, the masses hated wat was goin on Military brutality, his inner circle feeling too powerful n doin wrong Thus The masses keep blaming him for everything Meanwhile he was being lied to by his trusted ppl 🤦🏾♂️ He just needs to take the fall for it all
Rawlings was a Hero .. All the killing was unfortunate but all clips were necessary .. Rawlings has its own version of the June 4th story which was totally opposite ... The people who rescued him from prison were different from what has been documented ..
yeh, weh Nkrumah no force seh he free we from them, weh the whites no force seh dem come colonize we, we can go on n on.........its time for us to move on, we are still in corruption and foolishness.
Mr Acquah please do your best to invite onyankopon Peter Tasiri who gives life to mankind that is why,he led the executioners to slaughter the generals and others like fowls. Please find him to give us the in-depth of the brutalities the AFRC meted on people. I hope he is happy being with his children and wife?
Ghana needs another house cleaning exercise like June 4th 1979 because Akuffo Addo's NPP cannot tell Ghanaians how they used all the monies they borrowed from International Financial Institutions since coming to power in January 2017.
@@yawjay7049 Yea Major Gen Kotei had just returned from Canada, went to report himself at the barracks and was detained. But I was talking about the picture list they presented in the video at 35:57 that he was mistakenly left out.
What about the coup that they done to doctor Kwame nkrumah we don't say anything about that is not good but Kwame nkrumah said it before so let's move forward and forget the past
Nkrumah was a traitor! Imprisoned JB Danquah!! Declared a one party system; himself president for life!! Misused resources including sending off gold bars to pay Fatia’s bride price!! Worse of all he executed without trial!! He ain’t no hero!!!
Excuse me Do u have any scars from those times ? Do u have any nuclear family that was killed during those times ? If no to both Then sir u don’t understand wat these ppl are going through or went through Somethings like these leave you with ptsd And we can’t just leave it like that n move on 😔
How did they take over the Broadcasting House to make the announcement after JJ had been there a little while after and had men surrounding the place... According to Major Gyan who gave the orders to retake the place...
My only pain is the way he was killed.. That was not the army code of conduct in such situations when he has surrendered. If that is true.. Then it was a barbaric act....
@@sylvesterekpenyong4555 Yeah, but for me if u take a critical look at their situation, I blame Ordartey Willington, Gen. Akuffo and co, because they were all in the smc2 government, and they think Gen Acheampong was messing up, then after, ordartey and Akuffo forced him to resign unceremoniously, they shouldn't stay in power but handover quickly, because the 5bn soldiers didn't like Akuffo and therefore were angry with how they disgraced him as their formal unit commander, and this was a major factor for the 1:14:34 coup.
Interesting topic but this documentary is poorly produced it dragged a bit at the beginning, Just imagine getting shot by firing squad quite terrifying, Afrifa not dying straight away was a sign from God, first they missed then they hit the sand bag then the gun jammed come on lol
You needn't lie because you're an Akan Boakye himself claims he was head of government and Rawlings was like a ceremonial president. But the dramma here is that, they were all young men at the time who found their way into something way bigger than them. As a matter of fact, they were all afraid who should sign for the executions. Life is not meant to be understood. It's a misery. The snr most members of the council.. Maj. Mensah poku Maj. Mensah Gbedemah Lt cdr. Henry Apaloo Flt Lt. Jerry Rawlings Are all dead now. In fact Lt cdr Apaloo diesd same year in an accident after the hand over . Boakye Gyan is the only one around now. Baa Achamfour as well. It's at this point that they knew they have fucked up. They fought for nothing. Rawlings only took all they respect and labelled as hero. How painful must that be?
Ghana will never get such generals again. Odartey spoke like a soldier no shaking on his words.RIP A real soldier.
Cowards targeted him.....

Interesting topic but this documentary is poorly produced it dragged a bit at the beginning, Just imagine getting shot by firing squad quite terrifying, Afrifa not dying straight away was a sign from God, first they missed then they hit the sand bag then the gun jammed come on lol
The commentor is a liar
Women privates were being canned and their hair shaved but he seem to down play the figures and percentages
Boakye and Rawlings keep pading their ACCOUNTS
Boakye didnt have much say in the assasination of the generals it seems from most accounts
IDENTITY THEIF
He had more say. He was the head of government during the AFRC period
You needn't lie because you're an Akan
Boakye himself claims he was head of government and Rawlings was like a ceremonial president. But the dramma here is that, they were all young men at the time who found their way into something way bigger than them. As a matter of fact, they were all afraid who should sign for the executions.
Life is not meant to be understood. It's a misery. The snr most members of the council..
Maj. Mensah poku
Maj. Mensah Gbedemah
Lt cdr. Henry Apaloo
Flt Lt. Jerry Rawlings
Are all dead now. In fact Lt cdr Apaloo diesd same year in an accident after the hand over . Boakye Gyan is the only one around now. Baa Achamfour as well. It's at this point that they knew they have fucked up. They fought for nothing. Rawlings only took all they respect and labelled as hero. How painful must that be?
