“President Mills collapsed in the washroom before us” – Brother of late Atta Mills reveals
Professor Cadman Mills, the brother of the late former President, John Evans Fiifi Atta Mills, has disclosed that his brother, thus the late former President, John Evans Atta Mills collapsed in front of some relatives on the day of his death.
According to him in an interview with Top FM’s Final Point show Hosted by Kwabena Owusu Agyemang, he stated that on the day of his brother’s death, he was with their other brother, Samuel Atta Mills and one of their sisters. He further noted that he was later found unconscious in a bathroom at the Osu Castle when he had gone to use it.
He added that, he had then escorted his sister who was travelling to Cape Coast and on his return to the Osu Castle, found Samuel Atta Mills holding the late President who had collapsed in a washroom.
“While I was escorting my sister downstairs, I saw the doctors arrive at the Osu Castle. It seemed they had been called to attend to an emergency. As soon as I left, my sister told me to go upstairs and when I went, Prof was lying there with my brother holding unto him and the doctors around. I remember Doctor David Lamptey was trying hard to revive him and it was very obvious Prof was bleeding a little bit”, he said.
According to Prof Cadman Mills, his late brother on the day of his death showed some severe signs of being sick and complained of light sensitivity among other things.
“He was complaining of being sensitive to light. He also complained of neck pains and I didn’t like it when he walked; it looked like he lacked balance,” Prof. Cadman Mills noted.
Background:
Prof Cadman Mills’ comment however comes after a Private Member’s Motion filed by four members of the majority side of Parliament seeking a bi-partisan probe into the death of the former President.
According to the four MPs, the motion is “to unravel the unending mystery surrounding the death of late President Mills which sad event occurred on July 24, 2012.”
Meanwhile, the family of late Mills has reacted to the calls where Samuel Atta Mills in an recent interview berated the instigators of the motion.
The Komenda Edina Equafo Abirem lawmaker, who was furiously angry during an interview, also reacted to the calls and stated that there are more issues in Ghana that require urgent attention, therefore he does not understand why the focus should be on his brother’s death alone.
“Have they investigated JB Danquah-Adu’s death? Annoh-Dompreh sits at the front desk of NPP in parliament yet people are suffering in Ghana; worker unions are declaring strikes every now and then. Is this the only thing they care about? We must be reasonable in our dealings,” he chided.
