The late former President John Evans Atta-Mills’ mysterious death remains a mystery, and the Odomna family of Ekumfi Otuam and Ekumfi Asaman has opened yet another probing inquest into it.
Speaking during a meeting with President Akufo-Addo at the Jubilee House today, Kyidomhemaa of the Ekumfi Traditional Council and Queenmother of the Odomna Family of Ekumfi Otuam and Asaman, Nanahemaa Enyimfuaa III, along with Abusuapanin Kobina Biney, the Head of the Odomna Family, expressed that the primary concern of the late President’s maternal side is that ten years after the venerable Professor passed away, no one in the family has seen the autopsy report.
“it is a constant headache, that no member of the family can confidently answer the simple question of how and why the late President died and indeed, what actually killed him” she stated.
“Till date we as family are not able to tell if the doctor had said, he broke an arm, his neck or what specific medical defect and circumstances caused his death. I therefore plead with you Mr. President, on behalf of my stool and on behalf of the entire family to assist us get the autopsy report of President Mills, so that we can amply explain to the family and to our generations born and unborn, what killed President Mills and lay to rest the hazy circumstances surrounding his death.”
The family was grateful to President Akufo-Addo, for restoring the dignity of the Asomdwee Park, where the former President is buried.
“The extent of neglect by those who took over from Prof Mills was so bad that Asomdwee Park became the prime location for petty drug peddlers and lunatics”, the Head of Clan, Abusuapanin Kobina Biney, said.
They appealed for jobs for the youth of the area and the readiness of the traditional authorities of the area to make land available for an edifice at Ekumfi Otuam in honour of their departed relative and former President of the Republic.
