We’ll deal with Koku Anyidoho for tampering with Prof. Mills’ grave without our consent – Sister of late Prez

“I want to make it clear to everyone that Koku Anyidoho has stepped on the wrong foot by tampering with our brother’s grave without our knowledge.

Mercy Araba Ahema Quarshie, sister of late President John Evans Atta Mills, has expressed the family’s disapproval of Koku Anyidoho, a former Deputy General Secretary of the NDC, tampering with the late President’s grave without the family’s consent.

Madam Quarshie, during the 12th-anniversary memorial service for the late President Wednesday, July 24, 2024, unleashed the family’s discontentment with Samuel Koku Anyidoho’s actions.

She described the move by the former Special Aide to President Mills as stepping on the wrong foot, adding that the family was going to deal with him since his action is unacceptable in their family.

“I want to make it clear to everyone that Koku Anyidoho has stepped on the wrong foot by tampering with our brother’s grave without our knowledge.

“That is unacceptable and now we are going to deal with him because it is a taboo in our family to do that,” she stated.

She continued that the family needed to grant the approval before anything could be done at the grave, an act it deemed a taboo.

“Whatever that you want to do you have to consult the family, and we have to give you our approval but because you have the money you go and do anything that you want,” she said.

She made the statement after the chaos that rocked the Asomdwee Park on Wednesday, July 24, when Mr. Anyidoho overran his scheduled time, thus, delaying the second memorial service by Atta Mills’ relatives and members of the NDC.

The family had earlier accused Mr. Anyidoho of renting some people to pose as relatives of the late President at his wreath-laying service.

Madam Quarshie had described them as “fake family members”, insisting that the actual relatives of the former President do not know the said people who followed Mr. Anyidoho to the graveyard.

“People with Koku Anyidoho, pretending to be the real relatives of Atta Mills. That is never true. We don’t know them anywhere. He has schooled them by telling them that the rest of us are paternal brothers and sisters and they are the real family,” she stated.

Madam Quarshie recounted a particularly disturbing incident involving an elderly woman falsely claiming to be Prof Atta Mills’ mother.

“It was so disgusting to find an 80-year-old woman, pouring libation and hitting her thigh saying that she gave birth to Atta Mills. I was wondering if she gave birth as a baby,” she added.
