Pratt said that all the people who went to jail were troublemakers who were bent on turning the country upside down. Pratt mentioned Obestsebi Lamptey, a member of the Big Six and father of the late member of the NPP, Jake Obestsebi Lamptey, as one of the 'hoodlums’ who undertook ‘terrorist’ activities. Pratt narrated that Obestsebi Lamptey was found guilty by three judges who include Edward Akufo-Addo, the father of President Akufo-Addo as being a terrorist. When they criticize Nkrumah for jailing Obetsebi Lamptey, they forget that the three judges that heard the case all came from the UP tradition. All the three judges came to the conclusion he was a terrorist deserving to be sentenced to prison.
