So even in prison the arrogance continued. Just imagine Nana being imprisoned and having the audacity to complain. His uncle crimes were ten fold that of Nana Addo. Ghana as a nation must keep a close eye on that family, they will lie low, make sure everyone has forgotten their crimes only to lie their way to commit more crimes.JB Danquah is the cause of Ghana's problems and African in general.

You are rather brainwashed. It's clear Nkrumah was suffering from insecurity. If a person is accused of planning to overthrow government and is arrested he/she is put before the courts. You don't condemn an accused person to life in prison with those restrictions without proving anything beyond mere allegations. He knew the court is a place of evidence and wouldn't be able to provide the evidence, yet he felt JB walking freely was not good for his selfish political reasons. But that didn't save him from Kotoka. It's required of a leader to adhere to the rule of law and justice. You can imprison and persecute thousands, but there's always that one man standing! Nkrumah was a great leader but there were bad things he did that the Nkrumaist but accept and not try to force down the throat of Ghanaians the sugar-coated bibliography of Nkrumah. To date, people are still dying from the mess he created in the chieftaincy sector just because some chief didn't want to be CPP. And that wasn't a module of democracy anywhere in the world!

Well done and well said- J B Danquah was a TRAITOR and a CIA SPY. Because his own NEPHEW Aaron Kofi Asante Ofori Atta, who stood for the CPP defeated him-J B Danquah, who stood for the UGCC. J B Danquah NEVER won an election. He resorted to organising the OVERTHROW OF THE DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED GOVERNMENT OF GHANA LED BY DR KWAME NKRUMAH. He died of DIABETES AND HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE. A CIA SPY J B Danquah was collected UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS- for the wickedly BETRAYING HIS OWN COUNTRY. Very SAD. A self centred wicked man, who secretly visited the Queen of England to tell her secretly that Ghana was NOT READY FOR INDEPENDENCE. He hated Ghana because his own AKYEM ABUAKWA PEOPLE REJECTED HIM THROUGH THE BALLOT BOX AND SO HE RESORTED TO BOMBS AND COUP DETAT.

Former Akufo-Addo appointees whose wealth have courted national conversations
Akufo-Addo with the three appointees from left Eugene Arhin, Sir John, and Kwabena Adu-Boahene
The reign of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo may have long been over since January 7, 2025, but the very people who helped him during his 8 years in office may not all been enjoying their ‘retirements’ so well, or so quietly.

And this is for reasons aligned to promises and what appears to be a robust aim by the John Dramani Mahama government, which took over from the past one, to prosecute any forms of corruption that arose during the former administration.

These formed part of campaign promises by John Mahama and his National Democratic Congress (NDC), coming into the 2024 Election, and so far, they have been determined on achieving that.

Caught up in that, have been a number of appointees of Akufo-Addo who have ended up several investigations, or, in simple terms, whose names have been linked to controversial wealth that people believe may be, somehow, corruption related.

In this GhanaWeb article, let us take a look at some of the appointees under Akufo-Addo whose wealth came into question, generating national conversations.

In each of these cases, something happened that brought their cases into the public light, prompting national discussions and great interest.

Eugene Arhin

Eugene Arhin was the Director of Communications at the Presidency under Nana Akufo-Addo for the 8 years he was in office.

In 2021, a divorce case with his wife made it into the public, where his wife was demanding for certain reliefs in the separation process.

As part of the things she listed, she made mention of some of the properties owned by Eugene Arhin and these revelations, in the eyes of the public, generated a lot of conversations.

For many, did the Director of Communications at the Presidency, Eugene Arhin, amass all that in a space of four years, or during his time in public office?

Gloria Assan Arhin, his wife at the time, prayed the Accra High Court to grant her divorce request and also give her a number of properties, including a five-bedroom residential property (which was intended to be the matrimonial home of the parties) situated on a two-plot of land lying at East Legon in Accra; a four-storey building comprising 16 separate flats/apartments situated on a parcel of land at Bubiashie in Accra which land was acquired from a family friend of the petitioner.

She also asked for a storey building being constructed which comprised of 16 separate flats/apartments situated at Tuba-Weija in Accra.

These were but just three of the over twenty properties she sought after as part of the divorce.

Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie (Sir John)

Sir John, a former General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), became the Chief Executive Officer of the Forestry Commission of Ghana until his death.

After his death, his will became public, generating another widespread conversation among Ghanaians. It involved a tall list of 75 properties, including houses, parcels of land, bank accounts, investments, businesses, guns and clothes.

His will also raised public concerns following the discovery that he owned lands at the Achimota Forest. This was also because President Akufo-Addo had, at the time, signed an Executive Instrument that said part of the Achimota Forest was no longer a forest reserve.

Critics said the move was a ploy to get the land into the hands of the ruling elite, an accusation the government vehemently denied.

Sir John’s ownership of parcels of lands at the Achimota Forest appeared to have heightened the deep-seated mistrust of the government and its actions.

Below are the properties as listed in the will of the late Sir John:

House on plot number GA54480 located in Ogbojo, East Legon, and acquired on February 12, 2018

House on plot number GA 55329 located at Oyarifa No. 2, acquired on May 11, 2018

Kwabena Adu-Boahene

The last person in this list of Akufo-Addo appointees whose wealth have courted public conversations is the former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau, Kwabena Adu-Boahene.

He and his wife, Angela Adjei-Boateng, were recently detained by the Attorney General’s office following his arrest at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA).

Following his detention, Attorney General Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine revealed at a press conference on Monday, March 24, 2025, a list of properties acquired by both suspects since 2018.

This, he said, was established through painstaking investigations by the EOCO and the AG’s office, indicating that the properties acquired were bought using embezzled state funds.

Below is a breakdown of the properties and their estimated values under the couple’s names below:

1. No. 2 stream part drive, Mayfair Estates, LA, Accra which is estimated at $1,000,000 (valued at GH¢15,000,000)

2. No. 6 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates, LA, Accra

3. No. 7 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates, LA, Accra estimated at a value of $200,000

4. No. 8 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates LA, Accra estimated at a value of $97,815

5. No. 9 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates LA, Accra also valued at $270,000

6. No. 10 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates LA, Accra at $150,000, Additionally, another initial cash deposit of $500,000 was made to purchase 5 houses.

7. Vertex properties at Oyarifa Gated Estate Development. This consists of 27 houses each valued at an estimated cost of $295,000 (GH¢127,000,000).

8. Two properties in London

The AG further disclosed that an amount of up to GH¢39 million was allegedly diverted and embezzled by the suspects from the agency.

"GH¢39,462,480 went into Adu-Boahene and his wife's pockets from one transaction," the Attorney General said.

Give us a break- J B Danquah WAS A TRAITOR- A CIA SPY. He was on the CIA payroll collecting his UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS for BETRAYING MOTHER GHANA. He was arrested with a speech he had written HAD the BOMB he organised to be thrown at Dr Kwame Nkrumah succeeded. The BOMB killed a 9 year old Ghana child and one body guard of Dr Kwame Nkrumah. J B Danquah secretly visited the Queen Of England to tell her that Ghana was NOT ready for INDEPENDENCE. He was NOT a democrat because-He stood for elections for the UGCC for the Akyem Abuakwa seat, but he was defeated by his own NEPHEW, who was a pupil teacher and stood for the CPP. His own Akyem Abuakwa people rejected him and so he turned to overthrowing the democratically elected Government of Ghana by BARREL OF THE GUN OR BOMBS. He tried several times to KILL Dr Kwame Nkrumah with the CIA. He died of DIABETES AND high Blood pressure.

This, he said, was established through painstaking investigations by the EOCO and the AG’s office, indicating that the properties acquired were bought using embezzled state funds.

Below is a breakdown of the properties and their estimated values under the couple’s names below:

1. No. 2 stream part drive, Mayfair Estates, LA, Accra which is estimated at $1,000,000 (valued at GH¢15,000,000)

2. No. 6 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates, LA, Accra

3. No. 7 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates, LA, Accra estimated at a value of $200,000

4. No. 8 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates LA, Accra estimated at a value of $97,815

5. No. 9 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates LA, Accra also valued at $270,000

6. No. 10 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates LA, Accra at $150,000, Additionally, another initial cash deposit of $500,000 was made to purchase 5 houses.

7. Vertex properties at Oyarifa Gated Estate Development. This consists of 27 houses each valued at an estimated cost of $295,000 (GH¢127,000,000).

8. Two properties in London

The AG further disclosed that an amount of up to GH¢39 million was allegedly diverted and embezzled by the suspects from the agency.

"GH¢39,462,480 went into Adu-Boahene and his wife's pockets from one transaction," the Attorney General said.

Nkrumah was just a devil. No wonder he died like a guinea fowl. As JB Danquah cried from prison and Nkrumah won't hear, even so will Nkrumah cry from hell and no help will come to him.

Even though I detest the NPP and their vicious ideology, Nkrumah's treatment of JB Danquah was simply inhuman. You don't crash the dignity of a human being in such a heartless manner. It shows clearly the wicked side of Nkrumah. Nkrumah did so well but he equally did a lot of bad things and the merciless treatment of JB Danquah is one of his low sides

@ NKRUMAH OVERREACTED IN THE CASE OF J B DANQUAH

Please, I ask you, IF I TRY AND KILL YOU SEVERAL TIMES. THROWING BOMBS AT YOU SEVERAL TIMES- THE BOMB KILLED A 9 years old Ghana girl, it also killed your bodyguard. Remember those who you KILLED are also human beings and had family as well. J J Rawlings killed General Afrifa, Acheampong, Utuka, Roger Felli and others-who had NOT TRIED TO KILL HIM. BUT Rawlings justified it in the name of a Revolution. Rawlings was the friend of Akuffo Addo. But J B Danquah WAS A MURDERER, A CIA SPY, He cared about himself ONLY. He was caught with a written SPEECH he was going to broadcast to the Nation. He NEVER won an election. AKYEM ABUAKWA people REJECTED HIM THROUGH THE BALLOT BOX.

Fick him!! This demented fool, apart from being traitor also defended the murderers of NANA AKYEA MENSAH, the Odikro of Apedwa. He marshalled lawyers here in Ghana and London and used every influence at his disposal to unnecessarily delay the swift prosecution of the case. What business does light have with the children of darkness. Stop disturbing our ears with a treacherous, murderous non-entity.
