@icebrand05: Supt. Salifu Dagarti – The Officer Who Shielded Kwame Nkrumah On 1 August 1962, Ghana’s first President, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, survived an assassination attempt at Kulungugu in the Upper Region (now Upper East Region) after returning from a meeting with the President of Burkina Faso. A bomb exploded as he greeted a crowd. Superintendent Salifu Dagarti, a senior police officer serving on Nkrumah’s security detail, is widely remembered for courageously protecting the President during the explosion. Dagarti was seriously wounded while shielding Nkrumah and later died from his injuries. His sacrifice has been honored as an act of exceptional bravery in the service of Ghana. The Kulungugu bombing marked a turning point in Ghana’s political history, leading to tighter national security measures and increased political tension during Nkrumah’s presidency. #ghanatotheworld🇬🇭🤗💯 #History #kwamenkrumah
This man’s picture should be put on one of our currency notes. That was loyalty in it’s highest form

Details of the IncidentThe Action: Captain Buckman heard the device, lunged forward, and threw his torso over the President.The Injuries: Both Nkrumah and Buckman survived the explosion, though Nkrumah sustained shrapnel wounds to his back.Distinction: Another loyal presidential security officer, Salifu Dagarti, is often remembered for shielding Nkrumah during a later 1964 assassination attempt at Flagstaff House, but it was Captain Buckman who acted at Kulungugu. Supt SALIFU DAGARTI SHIELDED PRESIDENT NKRUMAH AT FLAGSTAFF HOUSE WHEN A POLICE CONSTABLE SETH OPENED FIRE ON THE PRESIDENT.
