Secretary of Agriculture in 1981-1982 - Was he executed?Meaning of Amanfo [GHA1626]

The Europa Year Book for 1981 reports that the Minister of Agriculture in the Government of Dr. Hilla Limann was Dr. E.K. Andah. [ Europa Year Book 1981: A World Survey, Vol.2. (London: Europa Publications Ltd., 1981), p.380.] However, Keesing's Contemporary Archives Record of World Events reports that the Minister of Agriculture was Mr. N.Y. Agbesi. The IRBDC at this time has no documentation reporting that either was executed. There were, however, detentions of ministers of the Limann Government (including Limann and his vice-president), following the 31 December coup. [ U.S. Department of State Country Reports for 1982, (Washington: U.S. Government Printing Office, 1983), p.125] Keesing's reports that on 22 October 1982 a number of ministers and deputy ministers, including N.Y. Agbesi former Minister for Agriculture, were released from detention by order of the PNDC. [ Robert Fraser, ed., Keesing's Contemporary Archives Record of World Events, Vol.XXIX (United Kingdom: Longman Group Ltd., 1983), p.32548.]
