JB Danquah’s 60th Memorial Service comes off in Kyebi tomorrow.
May His Soul Rest in Peace.
I bring you a case of crime, pain, scandal and historic disgrace of the Kyebi palace in the murder case in the ‘Okyehene’s’ palace (as it is now known) and Dr JB Danquah and Edward Akuffo Addo’s spirited but failed attempt to defend and protect the identities and crime of their murderous kinsmen and in the lead up to the formation of the UGCC to seek political revenge in a criminal matter.
The year was 28th February 1944.

Multiplicity of Privy Council Appeals
What followed were a multiplicity of appeals and delay tactics deliberately designed by lawyers of the accused to frustrate, even undermine, the rule of law and the Governor by preventing him from carrying out the sentences as required by law. Right after the trial, the defence led by Dr. Danquah lodged an appeal with the West African Court of Appeal which was dismissed the following February 1945.
After this, the stage moved to London for a heightened campaign of appeals and intensive lobbying. For three years the legal wrangle dragged on from one appeal to another.
Here is a flavour of the defence’s elaborate and high-intensity appeals designed to frustrate justice:
The first Privy Council appeal lodged in November 1945 was dismissed; an appeal to the Supreme Court followed and that too was rejected; this was followed by an application for special leave to petition the Privy Council against the Supreme Court’s decision which was also quashed; an application for the Attorney General to issue a writ of error was filed but he refused; the Supreme Court was asked to compel the Attorney General to issue the writ of error and that was thrown out; the decision of the Supreme Court was appealed to the Privy Council in July 1946 and once again it was dismissed; the defence then brought civil proceedings against the Attorney General which was roundly rejected by the Supreme Court; they appealed this decision to the West African Appeal Court and they were rebuffed; and, as had become routine, another application for leave to appeal to the Privy Council was lodged again.
The rapid succession of exhausting appeals and counter-appeals were as unprecedented as unexpected, designed in the hope, that the Colonial government could be prevailed upon to commute the sentences.

@RapGhana How will Sarkodie start a fight in Nigeria and you all want someone to continue what he started. He should face it himself. No matured rapper will be jumping on someone’s beef for hype , Show maturity in the game . Respect yourself and stay out of Sarkodie’s beef.
