Oh! Oh! Oh! Sgt. Tasiri Azongo Leaves Us!
At the personal level what I remember Tasiri by immediately is when he visited me and entered my room and expressed shock that I was living in a tiny and congested space like that.
I believe he would have been shocked even the more if he had visited me at my current residence at The Odometa Intellectual Guerrilla Camp (TOIGC).
Reading my pieces in the press seemed to have made him think that I was a BIG MAN in the sense of living in a luxurious house with complicated devices surrounding me. 🤣🤣🤣
I had met him at the Freedom Centre that day where he expressed his desire to know my house for continued comradeship. He was truly committed to The Left.
Yes, the story of his leading participation in the June 4 Uprising (not Revolution) I found well confirmed by military companions of his and mine while I was in exile in Lomé, Togo.
He was THE one who rallied the Other Ranks to the rescue of Rawlings from cell. Yes, he was The Initiator of June 4! When the true story of that Uprising comes to be told we shall see it.
When I met him at the Freedom Centre I could liken his continued enthusiasm for change and respect for me to those of Joachim Amartey Kwei of blessed memory.
These and many others fell victims to the Shogan principle that Rawlings applied not only to come to power but also to retain it – even if that meant their suffering and death.
The painful part of it all was that Rawlings did not retain the anti-imperialist as well as the anti-neo-colonialist working class spirit that informed their collaboration with him.
Fortunately, more of such patriots continue to live in foreign lands since their escape from Rawlings’ cells at prisons in Accra. They might one day tell their stories of betrayal and defeat.
Revolution or Death!

Ex-Sergeant Peter Tasiri, one of the members of the Armed Forces Revolutionary Council (AFRC), which overthrew the Supreme Military Council II (SMC II) led by General Fred W. K. Akuffo in 1979, is dead.
The death of Ex-Sergeant Peter Tasiri was announced by veteran journalist Kwesi Pratt Jnr, who described him (Tasiri) as the main architect of the June 4 Uprising, which led to the removal of the SMC II.
“Ex-Sergeant Peter Tasiri, the main brain behind the June 4 Uprising and a member of the Armed Forces Revolutionary Council (AFRC), passed away about an hour ago.
“My deepest condolences to his family,” he wrote in a post shared on X on Sunday, February 15, 2026, which had a picture of Ex-Sergeant Tasiri.
About the June 4 Uprising
On June 4, 1979, Flight Lieutenant Jerry John Rawlings and junior officers of the Ghana Armed Forces overthrew the Supreme Military Council II (SMC II), led by General Fred W. K. Akuffo.
The June 4 Revolution was preceded by a failed coup attempt on May 15, 1979, led by Rawlings and other junior officers.
Their arrest and public trial backfired on the SMC II, as Rawlings used the courtroom to denounce the regime’s corruption, striking a chord with a frustrated populace. Taking full responsibility for the mutiny, he demanded the release of his co-accused, earning widespread admiration.
On the night of June 3, 1979, junior officers, including Major Boakye Djan, staged a daring operation to free Rawlings from custody. By the morning of June 4, Rawlings announced on national radio that he had been released by the ranks and was under their command, calling on soldiers to converge at Nicholson Stadium in Burma Camp, Accra.
The uprising gained rapid momentum, with soldiers and civilians rallying against the SMC II. Fierce fighting erupted, claiming the lives of several military personnel, including Major General Odartey-Wellington, who attempted to suppress the revolt, and Colonel Joseph Enningful, a former tribunal president.
With the SMC II regime toppled, Rawlings and his allies established the Armed Forces Revolutionary Council (AFRC) to govern the country.
