Mahama honors late Lt Gen. Arnold Quainoo at solemn funeral

President John Mahama paid tribute to the late former Chief of Defence Staff, Lt Gen. Arnold Quainoo, during his funeral at Burma Camp, Accra.

Describing him as a selfless patriot, Mahama emphasized that Quainoo's generation was marked by nationalism, contrasting it with today's materialism.

The ceremony, attended by dignitaries including former First Lady Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings and Defence Minister Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, featured a solemn Catholic service and a wreath-laying tribute.

Lt Gen. Quainoo, a key figure in Ghana’s military history and the first ECOMOG commander, was laid to rest at the Military Cemetery.

His legacy in Ghana’s Armed Forces and beyond remains a testament to his dedication and leadership.
