Amid a scaled down celebration of Ghana's 68th Independence anniversary, the 28th February 1948 crossroads shooting incident is being commemorated today, 28th February 2025 at the Nationalism Park.
Although this incident happened 9 years before the country obtained independence from colonial rule in 1957, it has over the years become the precursor activity for the national celebrations.
As has become the norm, President Mahama, government officials, members of the Diplomatic Corp, surviving veterans of World War II and families of deceased veterans will throng the Nationalism Park near the Independence Square to lay wreaths in honour of those who died on that day.
