LIBYA. TWO GHANAIANS EXCUTED FOR MURDER

February 16, 2008: two Ghanaian nationals, Kojo Blankson and Samuel Ayi Ayitey, were executed by firing squad in Libya at the Kofiya Rehabilitation Facility in Benghazi. They had been held since 1998 over the murder of their Libyan employer and were said to be innocent.

Kojo Blankson, Daily Guide gathered from family sources, was on his way to work when Libyan security officers nabbed him.

"Even before the fatal bullets hit him, he was said to have uttered the words 'I don't know anything," a family source quoted a Ghana Embassy official as saying.

The two were said to have been implicated in the murder of a Libyan and Senegalese national respectively.
