Former President Rawlings has come under public scrutiny following an extensive documentary seeking to reopen and solve an age-long mystery of the killing of three High Court Judges during his tenure as President.
The Joy News’ documentary, ‘Who Killed the Judges? gave a chilling account of how the judges and a retired army Major were abducted and killed in 1982.
The former President after watching the documentary in a tweet lambasted the media house and posited that history was being tweaked to paint him black.
“We have rehashed and recooked history to make innocent people look murderous. And in the next breath using the same name to endorse yourselves because Rawlings said he is cultured (compared to his predecessors). This is vicious and callous political opportunism,” part of the tweet read.
But in a twist of events, a former corporal in the Ghana Armed Forces and a bodyguard of Jerry John Rawlings says the Ex-President cannot excuse himself of culpability in the murder of the three judges and the military officer in 1982.
Ex-Corporal Mathew Adabuga noted that Rawlings gave the order for numerous murders for both soldiers and civilians who were buried in mass graves at Achimota Forest and Airport runaway.
He also revealed under the order of the former Flight Lieutenant, mass graves were dug at a different location near the airport called Gadafi camp where many soldiers attached to the Military Intelligence were killed in mass.
Mathew Adabuga who is considered one of the main architects of the December 1981 coup also reiterated his allegation that among others, Rawlings popped champagne to celebrate the murder of the 3 judges and a soldier when Amartey Kwei came to inform him.
He admitted regrettably that the National Reconciliation Commission did not serve enough justice since he and Former President Rawlings are still alive despite their heinous crimes.

SO ALL THOSE WHO DISAPPEARED ARE IN THE MASS GRAVES.OUR FATHERS, GRANDFATHERS ETC.ARE ALL THERE. IF RAWLINGS REALLY DID THAT THEN HE IS EVIL.THIS MUST BE INVESTIGATED AND THE WORLD MUST KNOW.THE INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE IN THE HAGUE, HOLLAND MUST KNOW THIS AND DEAL WITH THE MATTER.IF FOR 37 YEARS WE HAVE NOT FOUND JUSTICE IN GHANA, THEN WE WILL NEVER FIND ONE. THE HAGUE IS WHERE WE CAN GET PROPER JUSTICE.THIS IS EVIL.
why don't anyone with any information or evidence come out with what they have.what prevent people from coming out rather than giving interview somewhere.do you want to wait when people are not in a position to defend themselves to say something
See how politics is putting money in people's pocket They use any platform to vomit rubbish
Rawlings and his PNDC were dev.ilish.....
The only thing I think will solve all these misery which happened once upon a time is for all meaning Ghanaians to vote out ndc anytime they present themselves.Looking back at history 37 years ago without looking at how our former President mysteriously died and how so many Ghanaians died under contract killings during ndc time is like just grazing a cake with icing! If we going back then every atrocities done our people by the P/ndc from the time it was formed to 2016 must be looked into. So many many people died under john mahama in Asutifi South and North than any civilian rule. Ndc azorka boys killed and maimed innocent Ghanaians with nobody doing nothing to them and the person whose watch all these happened had the guts to pay multimedia to denigrate former President Rawlings whose actions were done under military rule. John mahama must answer for how Prof. Mills died and the whereabouts of his body guard, he must answer for the atrocities done the people of Asutifi North and South by his appointees which one of them had his brother proclaiming on live radio he and his thugs killed Ghanaians everyday! OMG ! does John mahama think we still have short memory? do the ndc still take Ghanaians for granted? they should wait a minute! he has the audacity to form thugs and named them the HAWKS and then came out to introduce his campaign security coordinator to frighten who,Ghanaians? he can hire the American seal he will still loose! Ghanaians don't like him,only some ndc members are dying for him but not Ghanaians! If he thinks he is going to cause chaos in Ghana then he must stand well,because we will never share any Ghanaian blood for his interest, we will never give our country to him to run as a casino. He should think twice before he takes any move, our country Ghana is precious to us and will never allow greedy and incompetent people to turn it into a war zone for their parochial interest. Is being a president by force? if the people don't like you do you have to intimidate them? he should go into the gutters and some like him will follow him there! Prof. Mills made a grievous mistake by selecting this Gonja conman to be his Vice, who think if he doesn't get a second chance Ghana must burn he will burn first. He can never intimidate anyone in Ghana,we are ready for him should in case ndc make the mistake to choose him.
IF TWO THOUSAND YEARS OF HISTORY CANNOT BE WIPED AWAY SO EASILY THEN WHAT ABOUT EVENTS OF ONLY THIRTY SOMETHING YEARS AGO.THE EVIL THAT MEN DO LEAVES AFTER THEM AND RAWLINGS AND HIS EWE CLAN WILL HAVE NOWHERE TO HIDE.ONLY TIME ALONE WILL TELL.IF GHANA HAS A RESPONSIBLE AND A DYNAMIC LEADER, THESE ALLEGATIONS BY MATHEW ADABUGA WOULD BE INVESTIGATED.BUT HERE IN GHANA THEY ALL EXHIBIT TWO FACES. CRIMINALITYYYY AND IDIOCRASY..
Hmmm asem b3ba dabi. All hidden secrets shall come out before our Lord Jesus Christ comes again! Amen
