Dr Cadman Mills, twin brother of late President John Evans Atta Mills has revealed how handlers of the late Leader, due to political expediency were unwilling to fly the ex-President out of the country for treatment when it was obvious that he was ‘dying’.
He recounted how he couldn’t even recognise the ex-President when he (Cadman) returned from a trip abroad due to the former leader’s worsening health condition and yet the Presidency didn’t want to act because election was approaching and feared the opposition party would make a meal out of it.
The late President Mills died while in office on 24th July 2012 after battling ill-health for some time. His poor health condition which affected his vision and hearing was public knowledge.
There were visible signs on him that showed his failing health, especially during his last days in office but his handlers mounted a strong defence anytime the issue came up for discussion.
Speaking to Bola Ray on Starr Chat on Starr FM Wednesday, Dr Cadman Mills stated that he became disrespectful of the Presidency and lambasted the late President’s handlers when they were lethargic in getting him treated because of their political interest.
“My brother got very sick and was in South Africa in 2005 and he had treatment in South Africa and part of the effect of the treatment that he had was that progressively it affected his vision and affected his hearing a little bit. Otherwise, the treatment was extremely successful and he was getting progressively better. The only problem he had was his vision and even that was getting better with time. We were very conscious of the sickness he had in 2005 and therefore he regularly had medical checkups to confirm that everything was okay. Now, some things were happening that I must be very honest I wasn’t happy about. Fiifi (ex-Prez Mills) as I called him was very open, very honest and he’ll sit down with you and tell you in gory detail what his prognosis was, what the diagnosis of his disease was.”
Dr Cadman Mills continued: “He’s not somebody who will hide things but for some strange reason they decided that politically it was not allowable for people to know that he was sick…before that I went to China and when I came back I couldn’t recognise my brother, he was not even coherent. He was very visibly sick and I’d never seen him like that before and I said we had to evacuate him immediately…we had to go to the U.S and that is when they started telling me that elections are going to be soon and politically it was not right….that was the first time I was very disrespectful of the Presidency.
"I told them my peace of mind and I decided we had to go to the USA. What really got me furious was that they said he was going to the U.S for a routine medical checkup and I said what are you people talking about. My brother is a human being, he’s not well…I wanted him to take the time necessary to get well. The fact of your being a president doesn't”t mean you don’t get sick and what is political about getting sick but you see the narrative had been developed for a long time that he was a very sick man, he was on the verge of death at any given time, all if these were not true. ”
He added: “Whatever got him ill was it April or May was something I’d never seen before surely enough we went to the US and lucky enough they detected very quickly what's causing it and he got much better. I was very angry with him when he came back and he wanted to show everybody that he was well…I confronted him on a lot of things including that.”

You have lied to the whole country because of political money...how much money did they give you and now you want to do remedial. There is no remedial after death or the event already happened. This is not wassce exams oo! Since when did you find your voice to speak like this as a doctor who happens to be a twin brother too? What happen to Mills is the same thing done Yardua of Nigeria.DR Cadman you could have save your twin brother, you stood the better chance of saving him than any other person...however, they used you..same person to refute that he's been killed and said he's died by massive stroke. Do you now also want political favour or what...what has informed you to come out of all these now that the coin has turned...sorry to say u are not a reasonable doctor you suppose to be.

Now the cat is out of the bag!!! How wicked the NDC and the people in there are!!! Just for expediency you allowed a very sick person to trot on the tarmac. Wicked people!! Where is Kwaku Anyidoho!!! Didn’t you say you love him?!! What did you do when he was lonely? Jesus said since you didn’t do it for your brother you didn’t do it for me. I am shocked to the bone. NDC people are evil and devilish.
Cadmel ,or whatever you call yourself, you are shame to yourself , family and mankind. Were you not the one who told the whole world all is well. That you are satisfied with his death and that nobody should bother about how he died. Nemesis should will catch up with you
who cause atta's death?
Cadman, I don't know your religious denomination, but you may be a believer in God. There's no doubt that you have sinned. You, therefore, need to go down on your knees and pray for forgiveness from God, your brother, his widow, his son, your family and Ghana.
