The demise of the Member of Parliament for Ejisu John Ampontuah Kumah under suspicion of poisoning has prompted the former head of communications during John Atta Mills’ presidency, Samuel Koku Sitsofe Anyidoho, to seek an in-depth autopsy report and inquest into the passing of the late John Evans Atta-Mills.
According to Anyidoho, the late Atta Mills was vomiting blood profusely during his final moments, parallels that he says are synonymous with that of the late John Kumah.
“Where is the autopsy, I don’t know, Samuel Atta-Mills (Brother of the late President Atta-Mills) claims an autopsy was done and that he, Samuel has the report, why hasn’t he given the autopsy to his widow on the day late Atta-Mills was buried?
“Was President Atta Mills also a victim of poisoning?” he quizzes.
Detailing his proximity to the incident, the former Aide recalls being in the castle before the unfortunate event unfolded. Although not present in the same room where President Atta Mills passed, he asserts having firsthand knowledge of the severity of the situation, referencing records of profuse vomiting accompanied by blood.
Speaking to Nana Yaa Brefo and JB on Onua FM Monday, March 11, 2024, the Communicator stated that his request comes at a time when he finds himself in court in hopes of clearing his name of allegations that he has a hand in the demise of the late President.
“As we speak I’ve been accused of having a hand in the supposed murder of former President John Evans Atta Mills, and I’m in the Tema High Court with Kwabena Bobie Ansah.
“Why won’t I ask for an autopsy report and an inquest to clear my name, so with the news of John Kumahs death, God does things in his own good time that 12 years after the death of Professor Atta Mills something so grievous has happened to Ghanaians and there is an issue of poison.”
Dr. John Kumah passed away at the age of 45 after a brief illness on March 07, 2024, leaving behind a wife and six children, creating an indelible void in the hearts of many.
