Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has said that the autopsy report on the late Professor John Evans Atta-Mills who died as a sitting President of Ghana should be a public record.<\/b><\/p>\n

He described the demand for the report as a legitimate request that should be heeded.<\/p>\n

Mr Akufo-Addo said these when the Odomaa Clan of Ekumfi, accompanied by former presidential spokesperson Koku Anyidoho paid a courtesy call on him at the Jubilee House.<\/p>\n

During the interaction, the Kyedomhene of Ekumfi Asaman, Nana Enyimfua III urged the presidency to facilitate the release of the autopsy report after raising concerns that they were yet to receive the report after 11 years of his demise.<\/p>\n

Mr Anyidoho also told President AKufo-Addo \u201cThere was no autopsy report that we saw, not me. One of the siblings, the MP for KEEA, Samuel Attah Mills, in one of the various radio interviews trying to shoot down my importance in the scheme of things, said he was given the autopsy report. How true, how untrue, I don’t know.\u201d<\/p>\n

In response, President Akufo-Addo said \u201cOur late former President was my friend, I knew him way back in Legon, we were at Legon together the same year at the Legon Hall.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can’t understand why up till now you haven’t received the autopsy report. It should be part of the official documentation, and it should be part of the public record.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will have to find out how to proceed on that, but it is a legitimate demand for wanting to have.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prof Atta Mills died on July 24, 2012, at the 37 Military Hospital three days after his 68th birthday.<\/p>\n
