Dr Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe, a founding member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has dismissed claims suggesting he was the late Jerry John Rawlings‘ doctor.
The elderly statesman revealed that he has never served as Rawlings’ doctor or attended to him in any medical capacity.
According to Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe, the entire narrative on being Rawlings’ doctor was fabricated.
Speaking in an interview on GhanaWeb’s The Lowdown, Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe narrated, “I remember a few hours after the passing on of Jerry John Rawlings, early in the morning, I had a visit from a journalist. He came, opened his phone, and I have it on my phone right now. It’s almost five years now”.
“Reading it [message on the phone], it had been stated there clearly that I was Rawlings’ physician and that when he fell ill, I was called, went to his house to have a look at him and I suggested that he should be moved to Nyaho Clinic and the wife, late Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, I regret strongly that that lady is no more, particularly because of this story; the wife disagreed with me that Rawlings should be moved to Korle Bu,” he narrated.
“These are claims. I’m talking about claims. None of what I have said so far is true, so you have to ask yourself. Why should a group of people formulate such a thing? They have a reason,” he said.
He also added, “Then, within a short time, two doctors came from Korle Bu to join me in looking after Rawlings and the doctors allegedly are said to have been sent by Akufo-Addo. So, when I read it, I felt so bad and very sad,” he stated.
“So, the journalist advised that I should respond immediately because this has gone all over the world, and it’s true. People called me from as far as Australia. Now, what I have narrated to you is a complete fallacy. Lies. I have never been Rawlings’ doctor, I’ve never been to Rawlings residence; never ever, and this is a fact”.
“I have not even given Rawlings any attention in an emergency case as a doctor… So, I ask myself, who can falsify such a thing?” he questioned.
Also, Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe has narrated how five nurses suddenly disappeared and Captains celebrating after the late Jerry John Rawlings’ death.
Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe, a founding member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has narrated how five nurses suddenly disappeared and Captains celebrating after the late Jerry John Rawlings death.
He alleged that when Rawlings passed away, five nurses who were looking after him all disappeared as they were taken out of the country.
According to him, two captains met after Rawlings’ death and shook hands, saying mission accomplished.
Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe further stressed that the late former President Jerry John Rawlings did not die from COVID-19 as claims suggested.
According to Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe, information available to him challenges the widely held belief that Rawlings died from the COVID-19 virus.
He detailed the checks he made with the family members of the late Rawlings, revealing the late president tested negative for COVID-19 on two occasions.
Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe further highlighted that Rawlings did not die from COVID, adding that the truth about the former president’s death will eventually come to light.
He outlined his reasons, saying, “Firstly, the impression we were given as a public was that Rawlings died of COVID-19. I cross-checked it with my own cousin, his own cousin too, Michael Sousoudis, may he rest in peace, and it was a lie. He had two tests, and they came out negative, as I have stated in the book. That’s point number one”.
“A man of Rawlings’ calibre and level, a former president, cannot die without an autopsy being done, and I have said if an autopsy had been done, they should bring it out. It’s getting to one year now, and nobody has come forward.
“The autopsy can tell us exactly what killed Jerry John Rawlings, especially if they do what we call chemical pathology. All these things, if they have done them, they should come forward,” he dared.
He narrated, “Thirdly, from what I was told by my cousin Michael Sousoudis, may he rest in peace, five nurses who were looking after Jerry John Rawlings at Korle Bu, the moment he passed on, they all disappeared. They were taken out of the country. The nurses disappeared. If the nurses are around, they should come forward”.
“Fourth, there were two military officers. I know them personally. They know me, too, as I’ve stated in the book. Two captains, but for a lot of reasons, I’m holding the names for the meantime because I have asked the government to set up an independent commission of inquiry to find out what really killed Rawlings. The captains met just after his death, and they shook hands and said mission accomplished. It’s a military term, and that means a lot. Have they come out?” he asked.
“There have been no responses so far, and I’m sure they are aware because this book was reviewed on television. The only thing I’ll say is that I have had a few calls from some prominent people in this country thanking me for having had the courage to come out with that,” he disclosed.
He further assured Ghanaians, “Rawlings to me didn’t die from COVID. He didn’t die from COVID. Who planned and had Rawlings eliminated, one day will come out because if this is not a planned thing, you ask yourself, why should I be connected with it? Well, if people got to know earlier that I was part of it, they might probably calm their tempers down. That is the whole thing”.
