H.E Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Vice President and flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has on February 28, 2024, joined the Veterans Association of Ghana (VAG), to commemorate the 76th anniversary of the 28th February 1948 Christiansborg crossroads shooting incident of some ex-servicemen at the Cenotaph, Nationalism Park in Osu.

This ceremony is marked every year in honor of the ex-servicemen who were on a peaceful march to the Osu Castle in 1948 to petition the Colonial Administration over their unpaid allowances but were rather shot to death by the colonial policemen.

In attendance were Deputy Minister of Defence, Kofi Amankwa-Manu, Chief of Defence Staff, Major-General Thomas Oppong-Peprah, Inspector-General of Police, Dr, George Akuffo Dampare and Osu Alata Mantse, Nii Kwabena Bonnie V. Also on parade was a contingent of veterans.
