Brother of late President John Evans Atta-Mills, Dr. Cadman Mills, has reacted to calls for the autopsy report of the former president.
This comes after Nana Enyimfua III, representing the family, during a visit to the president in Accra on Saturday renewed the request for the autopsy report of the late president.
Nana Enyimfua III who expressed concern over the unknown cause of his death, emphasized the importance of obtaining the report for closure and historical records.
“Our biggest problem as a family is that ever since I was enstooled as queenmother, I have not seen any autopsy report in the family. That is the biggest problem I have with the family because if someone asks me what killed him I won’t know if the doctor said he broke his arm or his neck or drunk something”
“So we plead with you and the government that the family needs the autopsy report so that in future when I am no more queen mother posterity will learn from it because no child from the family knows what killed the late former president not to talk about me the queen mother in the family. So I plead with you on behalf of the family, before you leave office let us get the autopsy report,” he added.
The President of the Republic of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo who agreed that the request is a legitimate demand added that he will have to find how to proceed on it.
“I’ll have to find out how to proceed on that, but it’s a legitimate demand,” the president said after the family called on him at Jubilee House. If the family wants to have [the autopsy report] of someone who died in those circumstances, it’s a legitimate demand”,
But reacting to the development in a post on X, the brother of the deceased, Dr. Cadman Mills revealed that an Autopsy was performed on the late President when he passed at 37 Military Hospital with a family representative present.
He added that the legitimate family can obtain a copy from the 37 Military Hospital to do with as it pleases.
“VERY STALE NEWS!!! And exasperating! President Mills died. An Autopsy was performed at 37 Military Hospital. A “Family Representative” was present at autopsy, as required by law. The (legitimate) family can obtain a copy from “37” to do with as it pleases. Next Subject,” Dr. Cadman Mills fumed.
