Andrew Juxon-Smith
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brigadier Andrew Terence Juxon-Smith (1933-1996) was a politician and military official in Sierra Leone. He was briefly (27 March 1967 to 18 April 1968) Chairman of the National Reformation Council and acting Governor-General, equivalent to head of the Sierra Leonean state. He and the Council were overthrown in April 1968 by a group of low-level military officials led by John Amadu Bangura that restored Sierra Leone to rule by parliament under Siaka Stevens. He was a member of the Krio, an ethnic group formed by descendants of various groups of freed slaves landed in Freetown between 1787 and about 1855.
