You’ve committed sacrilege in altering Mill’s tomb – Ohene Agyekum tells Gov’t

A leading member of the National Democratic Congress, Ambassador Daniel Ohene Agyekum, says the government has no justification for tampering with the tomb of the late former President Prof. John Evan Atta Mills.

According to him, the government has committed sacrilege in altering portions of the tomb without the express authority of the late President’s family.

A renovation exercise executed by the Coastal Development Authority and the Attah Mills Institute has become a subject of contention specifically with the redesigning of the tomb at the Asomdwe Park.

The Brother of the former president, Samuel Atta Mills has raised issues of tradition and superstition accusing the authority and a former aide of Professor Mills – Korku Anyidoho – of carrying out the project without notice to family members.

The Coastal Development Authority has indicated it has not desecrated nor opened the grave beyond replacing the tomb elevation with alucobond panels.

Ambassador Ohene Agyekum will not buy the justification. He contends touching a tomb flies in the face of tradition and customary procedure.

The former Ambassador to the United States of America and Canada wants the family of the former president to take legal action against the founder of the contentious Attah Mills Institute – Korku Anyidoho for usurping the authority of the family in such official engagements.
