7 EVIL Things Dr. Kwame Nkrumah Did That You Probably Didn't Know–He "Hated" Ewes & Excluded Them From His Government

4. Kwame Nkrumah Detained About 500 People Indefinitely And Without Trial After the August 1962 Bombing
After a failed assassinated attempt on Nkrumah in 1962 and aided by his PDA, he arrested and detained about 500 people indefinitely.
Dr. Nkrumah was of the personal view that Tawia Adamafio and a few others masterminded the assassination attempt and had them tried for treason. Fortunately for them and unfortunately for Nkrumah, they were not found guilty by the court.
Nkrumah then became angry and sort of compelled Parliament to pass a law to enable him to set the verdict aside. Following this, new judges were appointed for  a new trial and as you would expect, they were found guilty and sentenced to death.
