Odartey Lamptey

Private Odartey Lamptey (died 28 February 1948) was a Ghanaian soldier and activist. He was one of the three veterans shot dead by Superintendant Colin Imray while on their way to present a petition to Sir Gerald Creasy who was Governor of Gold Coast at the time. The death of these three ex-servicemen led to the arrest of the big six 1948 Accra Riots.
