The Crusading Guide





In a front page story, the Crusading Guide says the former second-in-command of the erstwhilArmed Forces Revolutionary Council (AFRC), Major Kojo Boakye-Djan, has described as ?ridiculous? an allegation that he and other members of the AFRC, received part of a loan contracted by the defunct People?s National Party (PNP) government led by the late president Hilla Limann.



Major Boakye-Djan is reported to have debunked the allegation in an interview with the

London-based "African Interpreter", (a journal on African and Arab Affairs), way back in 1987.



"This allegation and the circumstances under which it was made are again so ridiculous that if it is

all that is available to destroy me, then I can only invite you to accept its use as one more evidence

of my incorruptibility and that of my former colleagues in the AFRC", he is reported as saying.



The Crusading Guide says Major Boakye-Djan asserted that the allegation was a confession of a man

under detention and a Chairman of a party that had just been overthrown by those extracting the

confession. (He was referring to the late Nana Okutwer Bekoe, the then Chairman of the PNP).
