Also arrested same day (February 4, 1982) were Freddie Blay and Kabral Blay-Amihere. They were suspected as close associates of MONAS. I was sent to the Signals Guardroom, and subsequently re-located to the Field Engineers Regiment Guardroom where I experienced “fire and brimstone”. After 50 days in the various military guardrooms at Burma Camp, we were all transferred to various prisons across the country for periods ranging between 12 months and 24 months. Kwesi Agbley and I were the last to be released! Thankfully, the Almighty and Merciful Allah protected us and kept us alive. Some others were not so lucky. They died fighting to restore constitutional normalcy. 36 years down the line, some of us are still alive and active in the political and democratic evolution of our dear country. The story, the FULL STORY , SHALL soon be told and publicly recorded for the benefit of today’s generation and posterity. 36 years ago today. I REMEMBER!! Stay tuned.
