2. Dr. J. B. Danquah Was Detained At Nsawam Prison By Nkrumah Till He Died There
Though it was by the invitation of Dr J. B. Danquah that Nkrumah became involved in Ghana’s Independence struggle, ideological differences and Nkrumah’s departure from the UGCC to form the CPP left Danquah at the other side of the struggle.
Soon, the two friends became political foes. Dr. Joseph Boakye Danquah was later arrested and detained by his former good friend-Dr. Kwame Nkrumah who was then the president of Ghana under his legislative dictatorial tool, the Preventive Detention Act (PDA).
J. B Danquah died after 13 months of being kept in prison—but before that and on his 4thmonth in prison, he wrote a letter to Dr. Kwame Nkrumah begging for a release which never happened. You can read excerpts from this letter from HERE.

In all persons there is good and there is bad, it is a matter of proportion, is the good greater that the bad or the other way around? Was Nkrumah rule worst that the European colonial masters? He was one of them and in the long run the young country would benefit from his efforts in spite of his flaws, he was an native, not representing outside rule, but was an indigenous leader with a vision and a determination to accomplish his vision, but as usual the worst enemies of progress are many times are their own people who forgets what it was under foreign rule.
