Air Vice-Marshal George Yaw Boakye (25 December 1937 – 26 June 1979) was an airman and politician.
He became a member of the SMC in November 1976 by virtue of his position as the Commander of the Ghana Air Force.
In 2001, the widows of the executed Generals and Colonel petitioned to President Kuffuor who ordered that their remains be exhumed.
On 27 December 2001 the skeletal remains of the three Ghanaian military heads of state, Generals and Colonel, were returned to their families at a military chapel; 22 years after the Generals were executed in one of the West African country's bloodiest episodes since independence.
The ceremony in the capital Accra, attended by more than 2,000 people wearing black and red mourning clothes, was part of efforts by the then President, John Kufuor, to draw a line under a dark chapter in the former British colony's history.
