    Nkrumah would have been killed if the grenade was thrown. It was in the flower that was why the flower girl died. It exploded just before Nkrumah accepted it. The CPP planted the bomb!

  • Kofi 10 years ago

    There is no doubt about it President Nkrumah's own party members were behind the assassination attempt.

    Nkrumah set up another court, which sentenced Ako Adjei, Coffie Crabbe, T. Adamafio to death by hanging. So if Yaw Manu and Otchere's involvement make the UP bomb throwers, then the CPP by logic are also bomb throwers.
