In a rare video sighted on the @GhanaianMusuem Twitter page, it shows the footage of the public execution of two men who were involved in the abortive coup of 1967. They were sentenced to death on May 5, 1967 and the officers were executed on May 9, 1967. He said those officers who had taken part in the abortive coup had been arrested and the soldiers under their command disarmed. It said it had disbanded the National Liberation Council and called on its members to report to army headquarters. Before the announcement of the failure of the coup, hundreds of people had gathered near the Christiansborg castle, seat of the National Liberation Council which has governed Ghana since an army coup deposed President Kwame Nkrumah in February last year.
