Years after the sudden passing of late President John Evans Atta-Mills, questions have been asked by both leading political parties (NPP, NDC) as well as the general public of the cause of Atta-Mills’ death.
 
Yet, no medical report has been made public of what might be or is the cause of the former president’s demise.
 
Accusations upon accusations have been hovering over the years with no authenticity whatsoever of what killed the soft-spoken president.
 
His ‘darling boy’ and now the founder and CEO of the Atta-Mills Institute, Koku Anyidoho is bitter of some allegations that he ‘might have killed’ the president for his personal gains.
 
But, ‘The Bull’ as affectionately called in politics has emphatically stated in an interview with NEAT FM’s morning show, ‘Ghana Montie’ that he is "innocent".
 
“How can I kill Atta Mills?” he unhappily questioned his accusers who he described as “backstabbers”.
 
MPs motion to probe Atta-Mills’ death
 
The unanswered question as to what killed Atta Mills finds itself in parliament when four members of the Majority group filed a private member’s motion seeking the constitution of a bi-partisan group to probe the death of the late President John Evans Atta-Mills.
 
The group behind this motion is led by Majority Chief Whip, Frank Annoh Dompreh.
 
It’s unclear what the grounds for the probe are, but if the motion is admitted by the Speaker and tabled for debate, the sponsors would be required to provide a basis for their motion.
 
Koku’s support
 
However, Koku Anyidoho who claimed to not know why the four members are seeking to probe the death of Atta-Mills extend his support – praying and hoping to know the actual cause of the death of his late boss.
 
“Let us get to the bottom of what killed Prof. Atta-Mills. Ghanaians deserve to know how the president died and what killed him,” he strongly said.

Was Atta-Mills sick?
 
Yes – nonetheless, the cause of his death was not released.
 
A piece of public information indicated that Atta-Mills was battling throat cancer, and in the days leading up to his death, had been in the US for some medical attention.
 
His brother, Dr. Cadman Mills, also made it public that the former president died from complications of a massive ‘hemorrhagic stroke resulting from a brain aneurysm’.
 
The Mills passing
 
Atta-Mills had returned to Ghana after visiting the US for medical checks shortly before his death.
 
He died aged 68, served as Vice President to the former military ruler, late Jerry John Rawlings between 1997-2001.
 
Winning election
 
John Fiifi Evans Atta-Mills came to power after narrowly winning over the then governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Nana Akufo-Addo, in the 2008 elections.
