Five nurses vanished from Ghana shortly after Rawlings’s passing – Nyaho Tamakloe alleges

Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe is a well-known statesman and football administrator. He claims that five nurses disappeared from Ghana after former President Jerry John Rawlings died.

He stated that these nurses attended to Rawlings at the Cardiothoracic Unit. According to him, Michael Sosuoudis, Rawlings’ cousin, informed him about their disappearance.

Nyaho-Tamakloe said the nurses have flown abroad. They have only contacted Michael sporadically to express condolences.

He also mentioned comments made by two retired captains of the Ghana Armed Forces. After Rawlings' death, they allegedly said, “Mission accomplished.”

Nyaho-Tamakloe stressed that this statement has serious implications in military terms. He called for an impartial investigation into Rawlings' death.

In his book, "A Nation into Retirement: The Narrative of a Statesman," he wrote about the mysterious circumstances surrounding Rawlings' passing. He emphasized the need for accountability and transparency regarding national figures.

Nyaho-Tamakloe urged that all relevant individuals should be compelled to share what they know. He questioned the medical protocols followed during Rawlings’ final days at Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.

He believes an autopsy and full pathology report should have been conducted and disclosed publicly. “In civilized nations, autopsies are standard after a former head of state dies,” he noted.

Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe’s remarks support calls for a Commission of Inquiry into Rawlings' death. Jerry John Rawlings passed away at 73 after leading Ghana from 1981 to 2001.

He led two coups in 1979 and was elected president twice in multiparty elections. He died in Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra after a short illness.

Additionally, Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe's memoir reflects on Ghana’s political landscape over the past decades. He aims to educate youth about historical events from 68 years ago to help them face current challenges.

He expressed concern about distortions in history books and stressed the importance of knowing the truth about military regimes.
