Every year, the colonial police killed three ex-servicemen, Sergeant Adjetey, Cpl Attipoe, and Private Odartey Lamptey, in 1948 while they were en route to Osu Castle to deliver a petition to Sir Gerald Creasy, the Governor and Commander-in-Chief. The three are remembered in a solemn flag-raising and wreath-laying ceremony.
