At the end of that trial, three of the accused were found not guilty and this displeased the Nkrumah government. Nkrumah sacked Sir Arku as Chief Justice in December 1963 unconstitutionally.[2] References1. ^1 2 Makers of Modern Africa, London: Africa Journal Ltd, 1981, pp. 289-90. 2. ^1 {{cite news |coauthors= |title=Outrage At Law |url=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,938954,00.html |publisher=Time Magazine |date= 20 December 1963 |accessdate=29 March 2007 }} 3. ^Daniel Miles McFarland, Historical Dictionary of Ghana, Scarecrow Press, 1995, p. 106-07. 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://icliverpool.icnetwork.co.uk/liverpooldailypost/specialfeatures/tm_headline=countries-united-by-an-ancient-bond&method=full&objectid=18678582&page=4&siteid=50061-name_page.html |title=Countries united by an ancient bond – Freedom after 400 years |accessdate=29 March 2007 |work=|newspaper=Liverpool Daily Post}} 5. ^{{cite book |last=Buah |first=F.
