Accra, Feb 9, GNA- A few hours after the National Reconciliation Commission (NRC) had adjourned on Monday, the hearing of Captain Kojo Tsikata (rtd) former National Security Advisor, to Tuesday, another witness again mentioned him in his testimony.
The Witness, Mr Thomas Kwadjwo Benefo, a former soldier with Fifth Battalion of Infantry, said one DSP Acquah told him that Captain Tsikata had written a note on a toilet paper to Amedeka, one of the alleged killers of the three high court judges and the retired army officer, to say that Sgt Alolga Akatapore had ordered the killings.
He said the DSP had said Bureau of National Investigation (BNI) intercepted the note, meant to implicate Akatapore to be executed by ordering the murder of the three high court judges and a retired Army officer in 1982.
The Commission had earlier on Monday, been compelled to postpone an epoch-making evidence of Captain Tsikata to Tuesday to enable its Counsel to study an additional 40-paged-document to the first statement, which Dr Obed Asamoah, a prominent Accra Legal Practitioner, submitted on behalf of his client.
The appearance of Captain Tsikata was in response to two subpoenas from the Commission dated 21 October 2003 and 12 January 2004, both of which referred to a petition submitted by Mrs Jemima Acquah regarding the abduction and murder of her husband and two other High Court Judges and a retired army officer on 30th June 1982.
The Judges were, Mrs Cecilia Koranteng-Addow, Mr S.P Sarkodie and Mr A. K Agyepong. Major Sam Acquah (Rtd) was the army officer abducted from their homes on June 30 1982, during curfew hours.
Their decomposing and almost charred bodies were found later in a military range at the outskirts of Accra.
