A former chief of defence staff under the PNDC, General Joseph Nunoo-Mensah says former president Jerry John Rawlings did not know about the killing of the three High Court judges and the ex-soldier abducted during the era of the Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC).
In an interview with Citi TV, the former national security advisor opined that people know the truth about who killed the four people, but they don’t have the courage to speak the truth.
“I believe that Rawlings didn’t know anything about it [that abduction and killing]. From my training and experience, I believe Jerry Rawlings didn’t know anything about it.”
According to him, per his interaction with the then head of state [Jerry Rawling], he could tell he didn’t know about it.
He also said as a member of the then government he was not part and did not know about the killing of the three judges and a retired military officer.
General Joseph Nunoo-Mensah said, he had to resign months later from the government because he did not want to be part of a government that committed that dastardly act.
“I wrote my letter and sent to then Chairman Rawlings that I have quit,” he told Samuel Atta-Mensah, host of Citi TV’s Footprints show.
The former present Jerry John Rawlings has consistently denied his involvement in the infamous murder of the three judges and the soldier.
Some Ghanaians still believe the former head of state sanctioned the cold-blooded murder of the four persons.

But he was the head...so he takes the blame
I am sorry for this General. I guess the kitchen is getting too hot for him so he has resorted to telling lies. They keys to the Fiat Campagnola that was used to abduct the four people were picked from the Dining Table of Nana Konadi Agyeman Rawlings and that is a fact. Whether Rawlings was in the house at the time they picked the kwy or not, Konadu was implicated and that makes JJR a major culprit. How do you, a self acclaimed experienced and security person conclude that JJR did not know about the killing? This is a shame to your Generalship. General licking the boot of a Flight Lieutenant. Aren't you ashamed? I am sorry for your irresponsible talk. Good day "General".
AS A LEADER OF ANY GROUP, WHEN GOOD OR BAD HAPPENS RESULTING FROM ANY ACTION FROM ANY MEMBER OF THE GROUP YOU THE LEADER MUST TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. PRECARIOUS LIABILITY IN LAW SHOULD EQUALLY APPLY HERE NOT ONLY IN BUSINESS SETTINGS. AS LEADER OF THE PNDC DID RAWLINGS INSTITUTE ANY COMMISSION OF ENQUIRY TO UNRAVEL THE MYSTERY OF THE KILLINGS? AND WHAT WERE THE FINDINGS OF THE COMMISSION? IF THESE THINGS WERE NOT DONE THEN IT BECOMES PROBLEMATIC TO EXHONERATE JJ RAWLINGS FROM THE KILLINGS SINCE HE WAS THE LEADER OF THE PNDC GOVERNMENT. THE FACTS ARE NECESSARY FOR THE PURPOSES OF HISTORY AND NOT NECESSARILLY FOR VENGENCE AS SOME MAY WISH IT TO BE.
A COWARD AND A SYCOPHANT. WHAT A GENERAL. HOW MANY WARS DID YOU FIGHT TO BE AWARDED A GENERAL? A GENERAL LIKING THE BOOT OF HIS SUBORDINATE? EVEN BABY'S IN GHANA KNOW THAT RAWLINGS AND HIS EWE CLAN THE TSIKATAS KILLED THE JUDGES AND A COWARD LIKE YOU COME TO DILUTE FACTS OF HISTORY.YOU SHALL ALL BE JUDGED. THE DAY OF RECKONING IS FAST APPROACHING AND ALL OF YOU WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
General, you are the most dishonest man on this planet to say Rawlings did not know about the murder of the judges.
Who trust you anyway
