Appeal for Closure and Historical Documentation.
The family of the late former President, Professor John Evans Fiifi Atta Mills, has formally requested President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to provide them with the autopsy report of the deceased leader. Expressing concern over the undisclosed cause of President Mills’ demise, the family emphasized the importance of obtaining the autopsy report for both closure and historical documentation.
During a visit to President Akufo-Addo in Accra on Saturday, Nana Enyimfua III, acting on behalf of the family, conveyed the appeal to the president. The family aims to receive the autopsy report before the conclusion of President Akufo-Addo’s term.
Addressing the president, Nana Enyimfua III stated, “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 drank something.”
She continued, “So we plead with you and the government that the family needs the autopsy report so that in the 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.”
