Audio Attachment:Listen to Samuel Atta Mills in an interview on Okay FM |
Family of late President John Evans Atta Mills has asked members of the general public, especially politicians, to respect their wishes and allow the memory of the former leader to rest in peace.
The family expressed worry at the way some politicians are taking advantage of the death of their beloved for their own parochial interest.
Speaking on Okay Fm’s Ade Akye Abia program, Hon. Samuel Atta Mills, brother of the deceased and Member of Parliament for Komenda-Edna-Eguaafo-Abirem, recalled that he was with his brother on the day of his death as they were scheduled to travel on the same day.
A furious Samuel Atta Mills condemned the attempt to make political capital out of the death of their relative, and sounded a word of caution to such perpetrators to desist from this act of 'drunkenness'.
". . an autopsy has been conducted, and I was present when it was done. ...it is nigh time those behind these allegations ceasewith their act of drunkenness," he fumed.
Abronye's CID Invitation
The Bono Regional Chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwame Baffoe, a couple of months ago, alleged that former President John Dramani Mahama had a hand in the death of the late Professor. He also accused him of hatching a plot to assassinate some key NPP members including Abronye himself.
The allegations were made on Net 2 TV.
Mr Mahama subsequently wrote to the Director-General of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service. through his counsel, Tony Lithur of Lithur Brew law firm, on May 4, drawing the attention of the security agency to an infringement of Section 208 of Act 29 which talks about the publication of false news with intent to cause fear.
“On the program, Abronye DC announced to the general public that some NPP personalities would be assassinated by NDC hirelings who would be wearing NPP T-shirts and that these hirelings would be doing the bidding of former President John Mahama,” Mr. Lithur’s letter of complaint to the CID read.
“On the same program, Abronye DC stated that President John Mahama ‘killed President John Evans Atta-Mills’.”
The Police CID then invited the outspoken NPP activist in connection with a petition from former President Mahama over the assassination claims against him; which he readily honoured.
Exhume Mills' Remains
Godwin Edudzi Tamakloe, a Special Aide to former President John Mahama, surprisingly opened-up a can of rotten worms when he called on President Akufo-Addo, to immediately exhume the mortal remains of the late President John Evans Atta Mills for further investigations into the cause of death.
He spoke on Tuesday, May 26, 2020, with Host, Kwame Nkrumah Tikese, on Okay FM's 'Ade Akye Abia' Morning Show.

Edudzi should ask for permission to do what he wants with Atta Mills body The family should also know "a president is not the property of only the family but the whole nation"
So an NDC MP speaks for the family because he is a brother? Or has NPP assumed the responsibility of fighting for the family? What I as a youth, who witnessed this sad death, want to know is what really killed my President. The autopsy should be public knowledge. Across the world this is done. Mandela died and we knew how he died. Mugabe the same. Former President of Egypt too the same. Why is our own different? These knowledge are for the strengthening of our institutions because definitely I know somebody somewhere didn't do his or her work well. And guess what?, that person is still there. Unless of course they know best.
do i smell fear in this so called family statement? it appears out of fear some people are trying to push the family to say anything and everything, well it will interest the family to know that Mills was not only their kin and kith, he was the president of Ghana and as long as we don;t understand his death, we have the right to know and if i may ask, when they were asking for Nana Addo to make his corona virus status known to Ghanaians, in what capacity did they think he was and in what capacity were they asking? how come we want to know the corona virus status of one president because he is our president but what killed the other president we shouldn't ask? what kind of double standard is that?
Why is the loud mouth Koku Ayindoho not talking to this issue? if it is about somebody else by now he will be talking bla bla. He is behind all these no***barred word*** coming from NPP. Who killed Aliu Mahama?
When Mills was alive, NPP never gave him peace. They insulted him, told him he was a sick man among others, and pronounced him dead on a number of occasions. Finally this peace loving man gave up the Ghost, and now some in NPP pretend they loved him more than his party and family members. Hypocrisy always back fires.
Those of you saying the words of Samuel and Cadman Atta-Mills do not represent the words of the family, do you want to say that those ***barred word*** family elders who want money from this government and Koku Anyidoho who is the chief instigator of all this falsehood are family than Cadman and Samuel who are blood related family?
THIS MAN IS NOT SPEAKING FOR THE FAMILY. MANY IN THE FAMILY DO NOT SUPPORT HIS POSITION BUT THEY ARE VOICELESS. THEY TAKE CONSOLATION IN ABRONYE CRY OF JUSTICE FOR MILLS. BESIDES, MILLS WAS A PRESIDENT OF GHANA. CONCERNS ABOUT HIM IS NOT EXCLUSIVE TO THE FAMILY. IF INDEED HE WAS KILLED THEN THE MATTER MUST BE INVESTIGATED. EVEN IF HE WERE NOT A PRESIDENT IT WOULD STILL BE NEEDED TO INVESTIGATE HIS DEATH AS A CITIZEN OF GHANA. THE INVESTIGATION IS NOT GOOD ONLY FOR THE FAMILY BUT FOR THE ENTIRE NATION. CRIME OF ANY KIND MUST NOT BE CONDONED NOR ENCOURAGED BY INACTION. THE INVESTIGATION WOULD UNRAVEL THE SUSPICION AND CONFUSION SURROUNDING MILLS' DEATH. IT WOULD EXONERATE OR INCRIMINATE ANY SUSPECTED NAME ASSOCIATED WITH HIS DEATH.
Someone tell them that the blood of Pres Mills will be on their hands forever .As for this Cadman, the least said about him the better.Cadman claims Pres Mills died from massive stroke, and yet Pres Mills was able to raise both hands and look up into the Heavens and say to God"into Thy hands I commit my spirit" , this was according to Cadman.
When you have drunkards and their followers like Abronye in a country like Ghana this is what happens. They fear Mahama like somtin. Whatever they do Mahama go beat them falaa.
Abusuapenie, you could've made your point rather than insulting. This shows that your comment was secondary one from your pay masters
