Joachim Amartey Quaye, one of the architects of the murderous incident, was imprisoned and some soldiers, Tekpor, Dzandzu, and Helki, were all found guilty of murder, sentenced to death, and executed by firing squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the convicted, Amedeka, escaped prison and has not been seen since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Source: expressnewsghana.com<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Information reaching Expressnewsghana, indicated the former National Security Coordinator, Captain Kojo Tsikata has died in the early hours of Saturday, November 20, 2021.
