Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah’s book, “Dark Days in Ghana”, reveals the harrowing experiences of his family following the 1966 coup.

Nkrumah, who spent years in exile, shares how his family was targeted and victimized by the new regime.

His 80-year-old, visually impaired mother was forcibly removed from the Flagstaff House and pressured to deny her relationship with Nkrumah before a Commission of Inquiry.

Nkrumah praises her courage and dignity in resisting the regime’s attempts to discredit him.

The book also details how Nkrumah’s wife, Fathia, and their children were forced out of their home and sought refuge at the Egyptian Embassy, where troops ransacked their residence, seizing personal belongings.

Nkrumah’s account provides a glimpse into the tumultuous period following his ousting and his family’s struggles.
