  • Frederick William Kwasi Akuffo var president i Ghana fra 1978 til 1979. Han kom til makten ved et militærkupp, og ble henrettet tre uker senere. Fred Akuffo fulførte sin andre utdannelse på Presbyterian Boys' Secondary School i 1955 i Odumase, Ghana. Etterpå vervet han seg til hæren og trente med hæren blant annet i England. Mens han var i hæren, tjenestegjorde han i luftforsvaret i 6. bataljon, som 2. brigader. I 1974 ledet han en kampanje som førte til bytte fra venstrekjøring til høyrekjøring. På grunn av denne suksessfulle kampanjen ble han kommandant av Ghanas militæret. I 1975, ble han leder for forsvarsdepartemantet. Og 5. juli 1978 ble han president. Som president fortsatte han forbredelsene til å gi makten i Ghana tilbake til folket. Men myndighetene gjorde mytteri og Jerry Rawlings ble president den 4. juni 1979. I likhet med flere andre offiserer ble han henrettet ved Teshie militærleir i Ghana.
