Ghana’s first Soviet ambassador is accused of betraying Nkrumah post-1966 coup by expelling his loyalists and removing his portraits.
John Banks Elliott, Ghana’s first ambassador to the Soviet Union, is accused of betraying deposed leader Kwame Nkrumah after the 1966 coup, according to a former security chief.
The allegation claims Elliott removed Nkrumah’s portraits from the Moscow embassy and expelled a group of loyalists who refused to denounce him, leaving them stranded in winter conditions.
The claims are unverified but highlight divisions among Nkrumah’s allies.
Elliott, a prominent diplomat, served from 1960 and held key international roles.
