Although Ghana President John Atta Mills confirmed that he is indeed alive at a press conference, rumours of his death are still spreading within Ghana.
President Atta Mills condemned rumours of his death doing the rounds in the country.
The President had been out of the public limelight for more than a week.
The rumours claiming he was in a coma, were ignited after the President scheduled a trip to the US where he was to undergo a medical check-up.
Just before his departure on June 16, President Mills called a press conference at Accra’s international airport to quash the rumours, adding that he would be back home “after a few days”.
The fact that President Atta Mills was going for a medical check-up seemed to back up those who were saying he had fallen sick.
Until then, phone-ins and social media sites had been humming people seeking to verify the rumours.
It is not the first time speculation on President Mills’ health had been flying about.
