A military officer with the 5th
Infantry Battalion (5BN) at Burma Camp in Accra but on detachment duties at Denkyira
Boase in the Upper Denkyira West District of the Central region has been lynched by
residents on suspicion of being an armed robber.
Captain Maxwell Mahama who is commander of a military detachment in the area according to his subordinates, on Monday dawn was seen
jogging along the main road and as he stopped by to ask some women for directions, they saw
the pistol on him.
According to them, he was not dressed in
military uniform and because of recent spate of
armed robbery in the town after residents were attacked a day earlier, the women called the
Assembly man who organized the youth of the town to lynch him.
Several pleas by the security officer to the effect that he was not a criminal yielded no
result as the angry residents kept hitting him
until he died. The police have now launched
investigation into the killing.
