Captain Kojo Tsikata (Rtd.) has been laid to rest in Accra after a private funeral by family.
A statement from the family, jointly signed by Colonel Joshua Agbotui (Rtd.) and Fui Tsikata, expressed appreciation to all who conveyed sympathies to the family since the passing of Captain Tsikata on November 20, 2021.
The former Head of National Security in the Provisional National Defence Council regime from 1982 to the National Democratic Congress era in 1995, under Jerry John Rawlings, was said to have died after a short illness.
He was a member of the Council of State and a captain of the Ghana Army.
Captain Tsikata received one of Angola’s highest honours, known as Carlos Silva among Angolan fighters, for his role in the struggle for their national independence.
He was a holder of the Solidarity Award and of the Order of “Carlos Manuel de Céspedes,” conferred on him by the Council of State of the Republic of Cuba. He died at age 85.
