The Ghanaian Soldier dismissed from the Armed Forces for Allegedly Planning a Coup Against a military Regime




   The Ghanaian Soldier Dismissed from the Armed Forces for Allegedly Planning a Coup Against PNDC - A brief history of Captain (Rtd.) Nkrabeah Effah-Dartey 

Imagine being dismissed from the army over an alleged coup plot — only to later rise as one of Ghana’s most outspoken lawyers and politicians. Captain (Rtd.) Nkrabeah Effah-Dartey, born in Jinijini in the Bono Region, trained at the prestigious Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in the UK and served as a Captain in the Ghana Armed Forces before being arrested, court-martialed, imprisoned, and dismissed under the PNDC government led by Jerry John Rawlings in 1983.

 Refusing to let controversy destroy his future, he studied law at the University of Ghana and Ghana School of Law, founded Nkrabeah & Associates, and became known for handling bold and high-profile legal cases. He later entered politics with the NPP, served as MP for Berekum from 2001 to 2009, and held positions as Deputy Minister for the Interior and Deputy Minister for Local Government and Rural Development under President John Agyekum Kufuor.

 From soldier to prisoner, lawyer to politician, Captain Effah-Dartey’s life remains one of Ghana’s most powerful stories of resilience, controversy, survival, and determination.
