The first ever coup d'état Ghana experienced took place on February 24, 1966.
And to make it even more historical, it was Ghana's very first president, Osagyefo Dr who was overthrown.
Dr Nkrumah was not in the country when this took place, as he was in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, executing an assignment on behalf of Ghana.
was on a peacemaking trip over the Vietnam War, leaving a 3-person presidential commission in charge of the country.
