The six persons who planned an ‘alleged coup’ back in 2021 that included a soldier have been sentenced to death by hanging.
This was the first treason trial in Ghana since 1966 when post-independence leader Kwame Nkrumah was overthrown.
The Accra High Court on Wednesday afternoon found them guilty of plotting to overthrow the government.
The Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Godfred Yeboah Dame after the judgment spoke to journalists outside the courtroom.
