Edward Asafu Adjaye

Sir Edward Okyere Asafu-Adjaye (1903–1976) was a Ghanaian political figure. He was Ghana's first High Commissioner in Britain.

In January 1959, Patrice Lumumba, the Prime Minister of Congo, stayed at The Ritz Hotel, London and met with Adjaye and others in the restaurant. The event was picketed by Mosleyites, who in concern with human rights issues in Congo at the time, demonstrated outside of the hotel, displaying banners such as "RAPERS OF CHILDREN - GO HOME" and issuing racial epithets. Adjaye was attacked as he left the hotel, although it has been speculated that he was mistaken for Lumumba.
