Hmmm.........Reports emerging from Ghana say claim that a military team has taken
over Denkyira-Obuasi town and arrested over 200 people in connection
with the murder of military officer, Capt. Mahama.
According to local media, all roads leading to the community and all
bushes have been blocked by soldiers. Women and children are taking
shelter in churches.
Meanwhile, President Nna Addo Akuffor Addo has released a statement condemning the murder.
"My condolences to the family of Capt Mahama on their tragic loss," the
statement reads. "I assure them that the perpetrators if this heinous
crime will be arrested and dealt with in accordance with the laws of our
country. No one involved in his murder will go free."
Capt Maxwell Mahama was a
military officer with the 5th Infantry
Battalion (5BN) at Burma Camp in Accra who was on detachment duties at
Denkyira Boase in the Upper Denkyira West District of the Central
region.
Captain Mahama, a commander of a military detachment in the area,
was jogging without his military uniform very early Monday morning along
the main road, when he stopped to ask for direction from some women.
However, upon sighting his pistol, they raised an alarm that he was an
armed robber.
They made this erroneous assumption due to the incessant armed robbery attacks in the community.
Several pleas by a security officer that he was not a criminal fell on deaf ears, as the angry residents beat him to death.
