The family of late Justice Cecilia Koranteng Addo, one of the murdered judges from Assin Nsuta is pleading with President Akufo-Addo to set up a commission to re-visit the murder.
The family is of the view that the key actors who plotted and dispatched the junior military officers for the killing of the judges have been left off the hook.

William Adjei Beneng, a junior brother of the late Justice says he disagrees with the Reconciliation Commission’s directive that all aggrieved persons should seek redress in court.
“I disagree and the family is waiting on the government for redress because if a person commits murder, the case is between the suspect and the republic and not any other individual so the government must show leadership, in this case,” he said in an interview with Adom News.
Kwadwo Adjei Agyepong, Poku Sarkodie and Mrs Cecelia Koranteng-Addow and Samuel Acquah, a retired Major in the Ghana Armed Forces, were abducted and shot dead with their bodies set on fire on the night of June 30, 1982.
Amartey Kwei, Tony Tekpor, Dzandzu and Helki were all found guilty of the murder, sentenced to death and executed by firing squad but Amedeka escaped while in prisons and hasn’t been seen since.

Questions have been asked about the motive of the young soldiers. Most analysts believe there is a mastermind to the killings, someone walking free.
Amartey Kwei has been cited to have harboured a grudge against Major Acquah because he was Personnel Manager at Ghana Industrial Holding Corporation (GIHOC) when Kwei led a protest against the institution that got him dismissed.
