The host is not interrupting. He’s keeping the story clear and inline. Because most guests often deviate from the point. As we’ve seen in this instance.
Acheampong wasn't aware of the coup plot until it happened, Then the soldiers were asked to leave the Broadcasting House but they refused and insisted they would leave only if they see ACHEAMPONG. When Acheampong came they convinced him to make the announcement..
Please there's a distortion of history by the captain. It was not Gen. Ankrah who handed power to Busia but by the then Presidential Council comprising of Gen. Afrifa, I.G.P Halley, Major Gen. Ocran. Gen Afrifa was the chairman of the presidential council that sworn in Dr. Busia
It's was COL. BANASKO who foiled the coup of Arthur and Yeboah . Note that going to announce is different from going to the battle field. Col. BANASKO and his men ENTERED the castle to arrest 2 Lt..Osei Poku and his men . This man Captain Sowu was arrested because he wasn't at the battle field BUT sneak to the Broadcasting House to announce the take over when the fight was going on ,,, reason for his detention in the guard room and subsequent reduction in rank .. After Col. BANASKO arrested Lt. Osei Poku he realized another soldier who was not on the battle had gone to the Broadcasting House to announce the foiling of the coup. THESE ARE FACT .. Captain Sowu himself is saying here that he never got to the OSU CASTLE but rather went to the Broadcasting House with no weapon.
Should have told us how Lt Yeboah killed Gen Kotoka and how he foiled the coup.Relation between Africa and Kotoka and why the suspicion that Africa was the Mastermind of the Operation Guitar Boy
These AFRC members who were desperate for wealth, took money from the government and travelled abroad, now claim Jerry who stayed to selflessly built the Country without enriching himself didn’t deserve any credit. Even, America that is credited as the longest and most stable democracy in the world has also gone through a period of revolution. Had Jerry who was an Air-force pilot then travelled to seek greener pastures or become Air-force member in the US or UK, he’ll been greatly successful than becoming Head of State in Ghana.
This guy was going to commit a couo with Captain Backustein against Acheampong, death penalty was meted out according to Wikileaks. A shame the presenter did not do his homework and asked him
Listening to many of this old soldiers, i have realise that to develop country is not in their plan ooo they just after power here and there. The military was just joking with country ghana after chasing the Developer out NKRUMAH. So is about who take over and who go how to develop ghana wasn't in their plan at all they were relying on the little NKRUMAH have left behind to survive no wonder mother ghana is like this. We never have sensible Leadership again at that time after NKRUMAH. The purpose NKRUMAH was overthrown according to them the military is out of their mind now so all what there after was coup d tar coup d tar. They couldn't add anything to NKRUMAHs achievement. Ooooo mother you have suffered in the hands of all this empty Guru's.
Host apparently had the story told to him in his closet so assumed it had been told on air. The most important part of the story that would help the understanding, he decided to cut off but spent a lot of time talking about immaterial things. We needed to know how he came to know about Lt Arthur's coup and his position on the matter since he was Arthur's mentor and what he did to foil the coup. And why he decided to be the one announcing that the coup had been foiled. These are important things you cut off. Otherwise, what was the essence of the ops in Aflao account and he staying with Arthur during the sports tournament in Ho?
The host is unprofessional n he 4got he was educating the public! The director messed up by not prompting the host! It made the whole interview baseless!!!
What a host to does was to read the book written by the guest, before the interview. They call it a book tour . So they do it if you want the whole story, you buy the book.
It is difficult to believe that the captain could have driven unarmed and alone to GBC which would have been heavily guarded by soldiers. Then he made the announcement, so peacefully in the heat of the coup? Difficult to believe
Sorry the coup failed because most Ghanaians supported this rundown since the country was turned upside down by Ewes in the country from Togo & Benin in Kotoka era hence RIP to Arthur and Yeboah, very much sad they failed and subsequently firing squad, farewell gallant soldiers. Yeboah and Arthur were very young officers yet they were able to conquer this "epoley pogye" Ewe juju man.
When there is a fight you go and foil or stop it before announcing of victory. BUT Captain Sowu NEVER got to OSU CASTLE to fight. When the Soldiers were fighting the coup makers , he Cap. Sowu sneak his way rather to the castle to make the announcement before the end of the fight . These was the reason why he was arrested and put in GUARD room.... We don't FOIL a coup with our MOUTH . So you can not run to make announcement when you didn't fight .
Wait man, is it the same Captain Sowu in the part 1 who is in this video? In part 1 you said he was 80 years old which was hard to believe, now in this video I see a 60 year/old man and you’re telling me it’s him? Captain tell me how to be young
I believe your humanity but this should not be the reason to overthrow a constitution. People like you made ghana what we have become today. After all the Nigérians retaliated in a more wicked ans bad way in the 1980's by repatriating Ghanaians back home. Don't be proud you must feel ashamed of yourself. You are a kill joy.
Ex captain Sowu I know you very well as juju man.An opportunistic and a traitor. One man one matchet saga which juju man did you and your cohorts consult at Somanya.Thank God that Gen Acheampong did not kill you when one man one matchet coup failed. Shame.
I really wanted to know how kotoka was killed by that abortive coup and how Afrifa took over from Ankrah.... You should've allowed him... Certain information will die with people like this... We will never hear of it... De Governor (USA)

This people are the reason why Ghana is suffering.

One of the most important person to interview on General Kotoka is coronel Agbo who is still alive
I have heard the name before, i have enjoyed his story and it's very refreshing a very nice officer.
"Nkwaseasɛm....ɔkyena na w'abɛ ka akyerɛ me sɛ......😃😃😃😃😃
I rather enjoyed this interview,..l honestly did ….FAB!!!!!!!!! Part 3 will be a good idea …An interesting man and a character….
Very interesting interview I really enjoyed it. Thanks Sir
It was more than interesting
Yeah
General Ankrah did not hand over power to K.A Busiah but rather Afrifa.
Acheampong wasn't aware of the coup plot until it happened,
Then the soldiers were asked to leave the Broadcasting House but they refused and insisted they would leave only if they see ACHEAMPONG.
When Acheampong came they convinced him to make the announcement..
Please there's a distortion of history by the captain. It was not Gen. Ankrah who handed power to Busia but by the then Presidential Council comprising of Gen. Afrifa, I.G.P Halley, Major Gen. Ocran.
Gen Afrifa was the chairman of the presidential council that sworn in Dr. Busia
This is immaterial. He was the head of state.
It's was COL. BANASKO who foiled the coup of Arthur and Yeboah .
Note that going to announce is different from going to the battle field.
Col. BANASKO and his men ENTERED the castle to arrest 2 Lt..Osei Poku and his men .
This man Captain Sowu was arrested because he wasn't at the battle field BUT sneak to the Broadcasting House to announce the take over when the fight was going on ,,, reason for his detention in the guard room and subsequent reduction in rank ..

THESE ARE FACT ..

Host keeps interrupting what could be a story with many backstories. I understand you are hard-pressed for time but you should allow the guest speak.
Captain Sowu l work with Ghana Food Distribution and there from 1974 to 1977 and there was no accountability for the yellow corn
Should have told us how Lt Yeboah killed Gen Kotoka and how he foiled the coup.Relation between Africa and Kotoka and why the suspicion that Africa was the Mastermind of the Operation Guitar Boy
Aimless man. How can you be involved in so many coups
Hahaaaa easy wai

The uniform was really powerful back then 😊 What changed?

Good interview

I agree with your observations

BUT Captain Sowu NEVER got to OSU CASTLE to fight.
When the Soldiers were fighting the coup makers , he Cap. Sowu sneak his way rather to the castle to make the announcement before the end of the fight .
These was the reason why he was arrested and put in GUARD room....
We don't FOIL a coup with our MOUTH .
So you can not run to make announcement when you didn't fight .
Ah! Nuumole, Ofee he eko !
Wait man, is it the same Captain Sowu in the part 1 who is in this video? In part 1 you said he was 80 years old which was hard to believe, now in this video I see a 60 year/old man and you’re telling me it’s him?
Captain tell me how to be young
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Interesting!
The man be funny oo
Such a lovely 80 year old man
I believe your humanity but this should not be the reason to overthrow a constitution. People like you made ghana what we have become today. After all the Nigérians retaliated in a more wicked ans bad way in the 1980's by repatriating Ghanaians back home.
Don't be proud you must feel ashamed of yourself. You are a kill joy.
Is it Bukom bankus father
And what did rawlings do wrong?
Apparently when you disagree with a government policy you stage a coup. What a joke.
I like the interview but the host is abit inpatient so much interuption,
So this man didn’t kill anybody
He sold Lt. Arthur who confided in him. Since when did Nkrumah state he was going to attack Ghana? Commodorre Quaye you mean ?
Please we here nothing about Arthur & Yeboah coup
Mind game is been played here.
Something like a conspiracy theory.
Ex captain Sowu I know you very well as juju man.An opportunistic and a traitor. One man one matchet saga which juju man did you and your cohorts consult at Somanya.Thank God that Gen Acheampong did not kill you when one man one matchet coup failed. Shame.
You people and your s!lly superstitions.
I DONT KNOW WHY ASHANTIS ALWAYS AGAINST THOSE WHOS PRINCIPLIE ,BCOZ OF CORRUPT PRACTICES
I really wanted to know how kotoka was killed by that abortive coup and how Afrifa took over from Ankrah....
You should've allowed him... Certain information will die with people like this... We will never hear of it...
De Governor (USA)
Every retired officer is claiming being incharge of stagging a coup ...liar. Ur lies is not even on line
No head..no tail of what he is talking
There's no head and tail of this interview. Useless
Very poor interviewing skills. Looks like an argument rather than interview.
Its a joke
Lol m
UP traitors
Juju means ekpele kpe ji, don't shy away from your culture 3fo Sowu. this number 9 people and coup 🤣🤣🤣.
