The British Broadcasting Corporation reports that 68-year-old Mills,  who had been suffering from throat cancer,  died in  the capital, Accra a few hours after being taken ill.

“It is with a heavy heart that we announce the sudden and untimely death of the President of the Republic of Ghana,” a statement from the Presidency  said.

Chief of Staff John Newman, who addressed the nation on state-run GTV and TV3, said   Mills died  at the 37th Military Hospital in Accra. Newman gave no details about the cause of Mills’ death.
