Three soldiers and other three Ghanaians have been sentenced to death by hanging for their involvement in a coup plot three years ago.
NEWSTODAYNG gathered that this was the first treason trial in Ghana since 1966 when post-independence leader Kwame Nkrumah was overthrown.
The six were arrested in 2021 while testing weapons in the capital, Accra, to allegedly topple the government.
The group, including a gunsmith, pleaded not guilty during a trial that captured the attention of the nation.
Defence lawyers said they would appeal against the ruling in the Supreme Court.
