Ghanaians Rush To Independence Square For President Mills' Burial Service
Thousands of people are rushing to the
Independence Square in Accra to secure seats in
the stands for the burial service of President
John Evans Atta Mills who died on July 24 at the
37 Military Hospital in Accra.

Wearing either red or black clothes with red bands
around their necks, they started trooping to the
Square at dawn to bid goodbye to the man who won
the presidency after his third attempt and
governed for three years six months.

Mr Raphael Boadu, a Civil Servant, told the GNA
“President Mills governed for a short time but he
has made a huge impact. Future Presidents will be
judged by his tall yardstick of humility and
honesty.”

The crowd moving towards the Independence Square
is huge as the day has been declared a national
holiday to enable Ghanaians to mourn the President
who, served his country well and until he
dropped.

Security is visible along all roads leading to the
Independence Square and is professionally
directing people.
