HOW THE OMANHENE OF ABURI DISAPPEARED UNDER RAWLINGS

The Story Of BB Bismark

Yours truly, The Crusading GUIDE has discovered how Benjamin Brako Bismark, under the stool name Nana Osae Ntifo Ababio, the Chief of Aburi and Adontenhene of Akuapim disappeared under mysterious circumstances in 1982 when he was picked to Gonda barracks by Ex-President Rawlings and his cronies.

Our findings have revealed that B.B. Bismark, then a successful self made business magnate, was picked to the Gonda barracks in a military vehicle where he shared a common cell with the then Henry Djaba without any clear charges leveled against him but for the flimsy charges brought against him by Rawlings and his boys including having many cars, houses, and many other properties.

Nana Osae Ntifo Ababio, the Chief of Aburi and Adontenhene of Akuapim, according to Mr. Deep Throat, was given an ‘identification haircut’ thus, his hair was shaved by the military chaps.

Close family allies told the Crusading Guide that the business magnate who was also one time team manager of the Ghana Black Stars in the era of John Eshun, had warned Gen. Akuffo against Rawlings.

“There has been no trace of him since he went to the Gondar Barracks in 1982. Though many believe that he died in the hands of the military chaps, his body has still not been found to be given a befitting burial that a true royal and true son of Akuapim (Aburi) deserves.” This paper learnt.

B. B. Bismark’s family testified at the recent National Reconciliation Commission (NRC).

The sons and daughters of Aburi are still crying out to ex- president Rawlings to show them some respect by telling them where the great omanhene’s body could be found so they could lay his spirit to rest in a befitting manner as tradition and custom demanded.
