I love this interview, after listening to Adabuga, Nana Adomako,capt Awuni etc and major Gyan I’ve learnt a lot and understood why the June 4th coup and why all those generals were killed. Someway somehow he is right. But I believe the soldiers also did many things outside the law/constitution I love the interviews Andy great work

I feel sorry for Ghana if a man like this wanted to rule Ghana..

Major ( Rtd.) Boakye Gyan , I understand that the rational behind the killing of the generals was that they had subverted and overthrown the legitimate constitution of the Republic of Ghana. My question is why did you pick up only General A. A. Afrifa but spared General J. A. Ankrah, Major General A.K. Ocran, Inspector Generals of Police Mr.J. W.K. Harlley, Mr. Bawa Andani Yakubu, Commissioners of Police Mr. Anthony K. Deku and Mr. E. O. Nunoo ?

Who wrote the constitution? Are you so Holy to judge a fellow to death? They had broken the Law so you and your team should break the law to judge them..... Ah well..... Only God knows what...... The Question is that...has Crime against the nation stopped even as of today or not .......? You all be the judge....

..u can tell from this mans earlier interviews his only mission to join the army was to challenge the military hierarchy because of his views be it tangible but never to Soldier..u can also tell from his own admissions that his superiors trusted him but yet betrayed dem..I see him to be a double standard person..he should cut the bullshit on his assertion on the executions. He claims the Generals overthrew a constitutional govts so deserved capital punishment. Not all played a part in this..did Akuffo overthrow a legal govt? Andy asked; so assuming if Rawlings was executed for his failed coup against a military ruler similar to what Akuffo metted he Boakye Djan would he say it was fair the latter could not answer properly..let's not kid ourselves these executions was carried as per fear for thier own lives

Andy, this guy was too much for you. Probably you were overtaken by personal biases or emotions. I wished you had probed him further to elicit more information from him. Boakye Gyan is very knowledgeable so you need to be on top of your game to corner him. He is a smart dude!!!

If you listen to the account of officers who actually fought during the uprising ie. Capt Baah Achamfour, Cpt Budu Koomson, Maj Rida, Maj Nantogma there are eyewitness accounts of them physically leading men and fighting. This is the only guy who keeps saying he detailed men to do this and do that. Not once was he near any action through the whole thing. Mainly because he run and hid under his girlfriends bed when the fighting was intense!

I couldn't follow the interview strictly because of poor audio -- I could hardly hear Andy, and Boakye Gyan's mic was on his right side while he spoke facing his left side. Nevertheless, I found him credible, brilliant, principled, and unapologetic over his roles then and now. Like Captain Awuni, he relayed history as it occurred to him, without embellishments or alterations from hindsight. This man should write a book, if he has not written one already, else opportunistic revisionists would tar his legacy. Until I researched him, I had loathed him by believing the rants of disgruntled Bantus whose corrupt ways he helped stamp out. I admire and respect him now; his principled and bold nature remind me of myself. Ghanaians should stop being ungrateful to people who put their lives and careers on the line to make Ghana as stable as it is today. This inchoate craving for the blood of June 4 and December 31st leaders is rank revisionism and insipid appeal to emotionalism. Ghana was a disaster before June 4; the Limman presidency wasted no time dragging Ghana back to the Ghana of pre-June 4. My country, Nigeria, suffered through similar abuses at the hands of corrupt soldiers and politicians --- but for their corruption and maladministration, Nigeria would be as developed a country today as, at least, South Korea. We clamored for a Rawlings, but because we didn't have one in the 1970s, we ended up with an Abacha who stole us dry and whipped us with koboko (horsewhip) in the 1990s. All those who have come since Abacha have not done better than him; right now, Nigeria is like a cocked gun held with a bird's feather at the trigger. Ghanaians should thank these folks and stop these unnecessary abuses of them --- but for them, Ghana would have gone to the dogs a long time ago. Descendants of the crooks who ruined Ghana are the ones sowing these seeds of ingratitude and abuses; Ghanians must wake up and shun them, after all the Ghanaian public was with the revolutionaries through and through. Try to do better with the audio next time, Andy.

Andy isn’t buying anything he’s saying. It’s not rocket science to see he’s absolving himself of any wrongdoing.

The evil that men do, lives after them. Look at him now.

Why was Afrifa the only member of the NLC who was executed if Boakye Gyan is saying that Afrifa's execution was because he committed felony? Was he the only person who planned and executed the 1996 coup. That is justice à la Boakye Gyan.

Is that fufu being pounded at the background? My goodness 🤣🤣🤣🇬🇭🇬🇭

I'm satisfied with one thing. Boakye Gyan was behind the execution of the generals from 4th June to 26th June,1979 and made some children fatherless. Thank God his brother kyereme Gyan also suffered the same fate and even,he and gokah were tortured before they were shot to death." Do unto others,what you want others to do unto you". When his good friend the late JJ overthrew a constitutionally elected government of the late Lineman,why didn't he ask Corporal Tasiri and his men to send Rawlings to the teshie firing range? Judgement awaits all.

Major Boakey Gyan is a well learned soldier and the man knows what he talking about. I love this old man

I have enjoyed the show and I must confess I have learnt a lot from this one. Surprisingly our political lenses will not allow us to listen well. From the interview, Major spoke what he deemed right. The military is like that and until you taste it you will argue blindly. Andy, please kindly take notice of your posturing. I actually could tell from the facial reaction with some response made. Great show

Boakye Djan is an excellent Lawyer, Andy is also a good Lawyer.

The philosophy of a coup is always important....this man has ma salute forever...a soldier true and true

Still throwing his weight around. He makes no sense. These criminals and thieves of P(NDC) must be in jail for life. Murders

I blame the kids of the slaughtered guys to allow such people to continue walking and speaking without showing any remorse

Such an important interview and you couldnt even get the audio right what a shame on the nation

All these evil and demon possessed people have destroyed many lives and they are still not repentant

I think these soldiers were not been fair. If boakye djan is saying if you overthrow an elected government, you have committed high treason and your punishment should be death by any other means either by shooting or hanging. Why was Gen. Ankrah not executed on June 26 1979. He was the chairman of the national liberation council which overthrew Nkrumah’s government in 1966. According to my research, he died in 1992. The execution of the generals and head of states was unjustifiable. At least, they were supposed to be tried. So sad. May their souls keep resting though they faced brutality before dying

Boakye Gyan is a brand full of knowledge, bold and home of truth that makes the interviewer seems naive. I always enjoy watching Boakye Gyan speak. He's a hero!

Andy is a lawyer but doesn’t ask intelligent questions sometimes

Boakye Djan was too much for Andy. At a point Andy was confused

Andy, I suggest this all thing about Ghana’s revolution could make a blockbuster Netflix series

Boakye Gyan is being economical with the truth.

Once a soldier always a soldier Boakye Gyan has elaborated the whole June 4 Revolution and had been fair according to other interviews from some senior officers like Mr.Budu Komson etc.now l think we should let sleeping dogs lie.

From the Major( Rtd) own words ‘crime doesn’t have a time limit’. If the generals were killed because they broke the constitution of Ghana , then Major Boakye should equally face the punishment for interfering with the trial of Flt Liu. Rawlings for the abortive coup. The former president should equally face trial for the coup on an elected president( Hilla Limann) Nobody is above the law. It is not too late after all former President Rawlings and Major Rtd Gyan overlooked on the indemnity clause in 1979. Same can be done in 2020 . Justice should be served. Nana Addo, Ghana is counting on you .

This is a deep insight. Very educative and eye-opening.

Pls pray for this man they all need our forgiveness

This guy is totally lost. What practical role did he play on June 4th? He couldn't answer a single question on that. He is a shameless coward.

Major Boakye Gyan is the MAN, good interview name.

All this coup was wasted useless and unnecessary lost of lives and serious scar on the economy and the nation.... Paa Kwesi sunyani

Boakye Djan is fearless and speaking the truth.

Can Boakye Gyan tell Ghanaians how long the trials lasted at the kangaroo court . Rawlings was represented by his lawyer (s) at the court martial? Was were those people not represented by lawyers. That is still justice à la Boakye Gyan.

Andy, I was desperately waiting to hear you ask him about Budu Koomson's encounter with him in the bush and how it aligns with claims of him having gone into hiding in the heat of June 4th.

I have gotten to know the truth since I started following what went on 4th June 1979. I wrote something about some few people who have been interviewed and they behaving like saints. Andy thanks for the interview. Whatever went on has been good and bad, because there wouldn't be an uprising without bloodshed. Some top officials (colleagues) interviewed really spoke with hatred. We are still suffering since our structures are weak but I still believe Ghana will be Great ONE-DAY. THANKS ANDY D TV. I KNOW YOU HAVE ALSO GOTTEN TO KNOW WHAT WENT ON. I REALLY LOVE HOW YOU HAVE KEPT MOST OF THE INTERVIEVS.

I like this man. As a Military man myself sometimes you have to take a decisive decisions.

You are very lucky because some people underestimated things so just blow your horns.

Look at yourself you guys thought the world was for you,

He is telling the truth about what happen at GBC house

This man is not an officer, how can u order your men(other ranks) to chase a whole general a disgrace to officers. NO RESPECT

Pure and simple. He is dehumanized.

Thank you Andy ,you did really ask this man all the right questions and he dodged most of them .To me he’s a criminal he was the main guy from the June 4th til the handover .I think Rawlings was just a figure head

I just love OBG GOD gives you a long life sir !!!

You are more than a vampire, what you did is even worse than a vampire.

How can a soldier talk like that ..... so sad.

I do not think a rebellion or mutiny or an insurrection in any branch of the armed forces of a country can be elevated to an act of war. There are international conventions on war but hardly any on rebellion or mutiny or an insurrection. Such a claim in respect of war is self serving and must be left to the objective judgement of others ; especially to posterity. The unfortunate events in Ghana had seeds of destruction, when humans tend to assume the persona of immortality with international interference in the wings.

I am not surprised he was one of the copu plotters that sent Ghana Aback! He shall receive his punishment before he goes to thegrave

this man is an astute soldier...he knows his stuff

If you go home and your father has bullets in his body and forty years after you dont find the killer will you let go You find cause and you start grieving. The families have their grieve hi jacked in suspension

Andy, sorry for your loss!!!!

Boakye Gyan Why do you run away after the Revolution, see yourself now. Kakai

Old age no good oh, grandpa's memory is gradually fading but he is doing his best to give a 40year recollection of events. He should be given the benefit of doubt for all the inconsistencies. I salute him though. Kudos to all the gallant BOYS from JLC.

So this is the Boakye Gyan who ruled Ghana for 3 months ? He lies, and had right brain.

ITS ONLY THE PEOPLE INVOLVE, THOSE AROUND AND THE SITUATION AROUND THEM THEN, THAT WILL UNDERSTAND THE HISTORY VERY WELL AND WHAT HAPPEND. I PRAY GOD FORGIVE US ALL AND CONSOLE THOSE THAT NEED TO AND LET MOVE FORWARD .

The emotion wen u mentioned his brother

Boaktye Djan demolished Andy in this interview

This man makes me sick to my stomach not even remourseful for all the people he ordered killed .I always knew he was incharge of Ghana from June 4th 1979 til the handover and ordered all the generals killed .Rawlings was just a figure head

Was there a WAR in Ghana? & at what stage? This is ridiculous.

I doubt if anybody will side with this man. He is getting older and oneday he will surely pass away and join those he killed . I wonder what they will say to eachother.

Please try to get Capt. Koomson in your show. Thanks

Hmmm, the evil that men do live with them so let it be with him.

He can answer every question right. Clear mind.

Why is Andy wrapped up so long in the killing of Odartey knowing very well in the cause of a coup, it is kill or get killed? It is the killings of those innocent by the people revolution way afterwards that should be of concern.

Hmmmmm we don't knows who telling us true storyline from that coup ..that time many of us r unborn

Seriously!! Gen Odartey- Wellington was weak??? aaaa this Boakye Gyan character kraaa wats wrong with him Is it the akpeteshie or wat?? He's jux a f**kin liar. You ordered your men to chase him up and kill him at all cost cos u knew how brave and dangerous the Gen was. See this man ooo , after all the things he did instead of apologizing he's here lying and defaming Legends. Andy! honestly bring people with sound minds to this program.

Major Good work done for mother Ghana, if they have any blame, they should blame Ankrah for his stupidity

What of Rawlings taken over lemans government

At this point we just need the truth and the the true details for us to digest it and teach the real truth only in our schools. Ghana education needs a real reform

Clear thinker .Very pragmatic ,seems factual

Most of you guys had your Kids attend schools in the west.

NDC is going to loose big time in 2020 general elections ( 42.37% and 84 Parliamentarians ) God bless Ghana

The GENERALS EXECUTION was about what? Boakye Gyan Ghanaians need ANSWER. Evil

Andy, was Rawlings tried in a constitutional court or court martial by the military?

Boakye Gyan played no actual role in June 4th though. He is a liar. And sadly, our elitist media prefers to interview the top people and not the soldiers who actually fought on the ground. Any one would tell you this man was nowhere on June 4th. And he was just a mouthpiece during the 3 months. Afterwards, he took the money and run like those of June 4th who had no conviction. And when JJ came to power, he attempted to overthrow him, and failed badly. But he'll never say that one. Why not actually interview the soldiers who actually fought? The real start of June 4th begun with soldiers being picked up for plans they were discovered with. The other groups realized that if they didnt act then, it wont happen. June 4th actually started on 3rd June at 11pm when an officer was shot accidentally, and the one who did, fearing nothing would follow, shot himself. Boakye Gyan who was positioned across the parade ground, ordered to defend against the revolt, fled and was in Achimota until about Midday June 5th. You should do you homework before you interview these characters. You are messing up Ghana's actual history for whatever political agenda you have.

Andy, please try and get Major Sulemana for him to narrate his side of the happenings of June 4th. Him and Major Rida were the main opposing forces.

In the army if u shot a man and he is injured u have to provide first aid even if he is an enemy, this people their should all be sent on a trial

I just watched this and I think Boakye Djan's submission in defense of the killing of the generals is baseless. Which constitution was in place at that time? The military in the first place has no business in playing judges and executioners. The proper thing to do was to wait for a constitution to be reinstated to deal with that judgment.

Please what soup is the Fufu going to be added to?

Don't allow This man on your show. What was a war? fighting with who?

Boakye Gyan didnt take part in the actual fighting he was hiding at Burma Camp with his brother Kyeremeh Gyan and mrs Boakye-Gyan. Then they ran to Achimota her house hid there with Capt Budu Koomson’s wife until everything calmed down and he came back to Burma camp.The main brain behind this june 4th was Agyemang Bio late ,Sarkodie Addo ,Tasiri ,Apitinga and Capt Baah Acheamfour.Boakye-Gyan only came to the Picture after the the june 4th has succeeded because Rawlings was his best friend

Boakye Gyan destroys Andy in this interview

i love the English content by Major!!! well knowledgable with the field

Act of war. He was looking for peace else this sickler would not be bragging now

Boakye Gyan’s favorite word is WAR ,mentioned over ten times .

Some things he said were inconsistent with accounts of Capt Budu Koomson, Capt Baah Acheamfour, Major Rida, and the others. He’s intelligent but got his judgment and actions wrong.

Who will bring this leftovers to justice?

His critical thinking makes me feel he settled for less during the time he should have even gone higher than where he got regardless of he not touching the dirty work at all…Man is too clever and verbally smart! Oh Mother Ghana! Who did this to you?

I didn't support the killing of the generals but this man's actions gave Ghana the uninterrupted democracy in Ghana today.

ANDY, why is the sound so poor? No no

HOW ABOUT GENERAL ANKRAH?

Great show ANDY very insightful what I have learnt from Major Boakye Gyan today is his character "Killed or be killed philosophy" all the rules he learnt in the army has been throw away. June 4 was a "house cleaning" that is why nobody was spared. Major Gen. Odartey would've still been killed if he acted differently, no action would have changed that. he is right about one thing. Major Gen. Odartey misunderstood the situation because he thought it was a coup. it was a "WAR" they didn't come to overthrow the SMC II, they came to Kill (House Clean) them all.

Andy, u didn't ask intelligent questions. You seemed to be lost in the interview. Read wide before you bring people for interviews.

So how come general ankrah was never executed but just affrifa

Damn arrogant!

What the hell is Boakye Gyan talking about?

Andy I'm very disappointed in you, this man was too much for you

This man was so cold blooded and cruel
