The banner headline of the Chronicle reads: “Ex-Minister for probe on judges murder. According to the story, a former member of the erstwhile Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC), Mr Johnny Hanson, has said he supports the call by Mr Kwabena Adjepong, son of the late Justice K.A. Adjepong, for setting up a commission to probe the unexplained aspects of the abduction and murder of three High Court judges and a retired army officer in June 1982. Mr Hansen who was secretary of the Interior at the time, said one of the gray areas Surrounding the infamous episode in Ghana’s history was whether Sgt. Alolga-Aakatapore, a former member of the PNDC was framed up. Justices Cecilia Koranteng-Addow, K.A. Adjepong, and F.P. Sarkodie, and Major (rtd) Sam Acquah were brutally murdered on June 30, 1982 at Bundase, near Accra. Hansen’s call was prompted by a statement made by sgt. Aakata- Pore in London, alleging that, he Hansedn, was part of a conspiracy to implicate him in the murder of the judges and the retired army officer, the Chroncile says.
Another front-page headline says: ‘Tony Aidoo’s progress … with a little help from the Dep. Speaker.’ The story says that the vetting of the controversial hatchet-man of the NDC, Dr J. Tony Aidoo, received a major boost yesterday, following the denial of the Chairman of the Appointments Committee, Mr Kenneth Dzirasah, to allow a subpoena for the records of the candidate from the Cape Coast University, where he worked from 1980 to 1991. Hon Dzirasah claimed that he had not received any information on Dr Aidoo concerning his Record at the university and surprisingly declared that he was not going to instruct that a subpoena should be issued to the university authorities. Buoyed up by that knowledge, the deputy Minister for Defence-designate breezed through a vetting that was full of Tony Aidoo’s own sound-bites and extremely low on credible questions even from three member of the opposition, the paper stated.
