Nana Asamani (or "Asameni") was the first black Governor of Christiansborg Castle,[1] located in Osu, Accra, Ghana, on the coast of the Gulf of Guinea.
Asamani was known as the Akwamuhene who tricked the Danes and seized Christiansborg Castle in 1693. Asamani sold the castle back to the Danes in 1694 for 50 marks of gold, but kept the keys to the castle after the sale.[2][3][4][5]
