Koku Anyidoho ‘cries’ after plaque of Prof Mills’ statue bearing his name is ‘vandalised’

A former Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Samuel Koku Anyidoho, has taken to social media to express his frustration over the vandalism of a statue of the late former President Prof John Evans Atta Mills at the former president’s resting place, the Asomdwee Park.

Visuals from the Asomdwee Park show the plaque of the statue, which named Koku Anyidoho as the person who donated the statue, removed.

The writings on the plaque before it was destroyed showed details of the late former president and the inscription “Donated by Samuel Koku Anyidoho”.

The plaque could be seen broken into pieces with the statue of the late Prof Mills, however, intact.

It is not clear who removed the plaque, but the Asomdwee Park is state property, intended to be the resting place of the country’s presidents who pass on.

Koku Anyidoho, in the post he shared on X on Wednesday, January 8, 2025, took solace in God over the destruction of the plaque.

“This just happened @ Asomdwe Park. My Bible tells me that ‘In All Things’ (not in some things), I should give thanks to God. I am also singing… ‘It is well with my soul’. To God be All the glory and my prayer is for God to continue blessing my beloved Homeland Ghana,” he wrote.
