    Former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has launched a collection of statements chronicling the journey of statesman, scholar, and lawyer John Boakye Danquah, popularly known as JB Danquah.

    He shared this update on his Facebook page on Monday, March 10, 2025.

    He wrote, “On Sunday, March 9, 2025, under the patronage of the Okyenhene, Osagyefuo Amoatia Ofori-Panin, and the Akyem Abuakwa Traditional Council, I joined members of the clergy, political and traditional leaders, and fellow Ghanaians at a Remembrance Service at Ebenezer Presbyterian Church, Kyebi, in solemn reverence of the sixtieth anniversary of the passing of Ghanaian statesman, scholar, philosopher, jurist, and traditional leader Dr. Joseph Kyeretwie Boakye Danquah.

    “I also launched a compendium of sixty statements chronicling the juridical, historical, and cultural accounts of his storied life, which was marked significantly by his advocacy for political pluralism, respect for human dignity, preservation of cultural and traditional heritage, and his enduring love of freedom for humanity.”

    Akufo-Addo was in Kyebi, in the Eastern Region, for the 60th Remembrance Service of JB Danquah on Sunday, March 9, 2025.

    JB Danquah was a key figure in Ghana’s political history and contested Dr. Kwame Nkrumah in the April 1960 presidential election but lost.

    On October 3, 1961, he was arrested under the Preventive Detention Act on allegations of plotting to subvert the Convention People’s Party (CPP) and assassinate Dr. Nkrumah.

    Although he was released in June 1962, he was later elected President of the Ghana Bar Association.

    However, in January 1964, he was rearrested without formal charges and detained at Nsawam Medium Prison, where he died in February 1965 at the age of 69 while still in custody.

    Following the overthrow of the CPP in February 1966 by the National Liberation Council (NLC), he was buried by the state in recognition of his contributions to the country.
