Mills’ Nepwhew’s $285,000 Car Story Is A Hoax

The NPP’s attempt to shift the attention of Ghanaians from their flagbearer’s drugs mess has once again been flattened by investigations conducted by this paper and the denial by Mr. Kojo Mills that he has paid a whopping $285,000 for a brand new Aston Martin DBS car.

The blatant lie was published in yesterday’s edition of The New Statesman, a newspaper in the Akufo-Addo stable. The paper displayed alongside the story on its front page a picture of an Aston Martin DBS which was obviously copied from the internet.

Daily Post’sscouts in the U.S. quickly did an intel on Mr. Kojo Mills to find out if the allegation was true. The intel team discovered that it was false. A call was then placed to Mr. Kojo Mills who denied the allegation, stating categorically that he has not bought an Aston Martin DBS nor has he seen one before.

According to The New Statesman, “ Kojo Mills’ Aston DBS is manufactured by British manufacturer, Aston Martin Lagonda Limited. Visually, the front end is dominated by air scoops and cooling ducts which help to cool the six-litre V12 engine to top speed of 307 km/h” The paper continued by stating other features of the alleged car which includes “a Bang & Olufsen sound system with 13 active speakers” in a desperate attempt to make the lie look or sound true. A bewildered Kojo Mills told this paper that he has “…never even seen a picture of the Aston Martin DBS before let alone own it. I want the paper to come and show me where it is so I can auction it and give the money to charity in Ghana” he said. He then indicated his intention to sue The New Statesman for libeling.

Kojo Mills is a nephew of President Mills and son of Dr. Cadman Mills. He holds an economics degree from Georgetown University and an MBA from Harvard Business School. He worked on Wall Street for Donaldson, Lufkin and Jenrette inc. (now Credit Suisse First Boston) and was later seconded to be their representative for their investment in African Merchant Bank (AMB).Within AMB he worked in their private equity group responsible for the sourcing, structuring, implementing and monitoring of various investments in the South African market.

Kojo Mills was also the acting CEO of Shanduka and Managing Director of Shanduka Fund Managers which is founded by South African politician-turned-businessman, Cyril Ramaphosa.
