The Member of Parliament for Upper Denkyira West, Samuel Nsowa-Djan, has called on the Minister of Defence, Dominic Nitiwul, and Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) Major General Obed Akwa to call some soldiers deployed to Denkyira-Obuasi in the Central Region to search for killers of Captain Maxwell A. Mahama, to order.

Captain Mahama was lynched by irate youth of the community on suspicion that he was an armed robber after a group of residents from whom he asked for directions during a Monday dawn jogging session spotted a pistol on him.

The community on Tuesday 30 May turned into a ghost town as residents fled from soldiers sent there to investigate the circumstances leading to the murder of their colleague. Reports said the soldiers were allegedly arresting and beating up residents.
Reacting to the development on 12Live on Class91.3FM, Mr Nsowa-Djan appealed to the soldiers to operate within the remit of the law. He was of the opinion that the situation could escalate if the youth of the town strike back at the soldiers.

Speaking to Jonas Ofori-Yeboah, the lawmaker, who disclosed he was on his way to his constituency to ascertain the facts for himself, said: “According to sources, over 30 people have been arrested including women but I can’t confirm it. But just now, I’ve been told that a lame man has been arrested and molested and when a situation of this nature happens, it is also going to lead to another problem.

“What the community did is very bad and I condemn it, but the way the military is also taking the issue I think it’s a whole lot. The community I’m told is now virtually empty. They have fled to the neighbouring communities and their farms and other places. So I’m appealing to the military, the Minister of Defence, and Chief of Defence Staff to call his people to order because if the people are to retaliate, the end result will be very bad.”
my friend shut up they did bad so they wont retaliate,if they do let the military chase them more

The mob mind is bestial, primitive, brutish and incredibly lacking in intelligence. It's animalistic nature explains its lack of a moral compass. There is NO excuse for participating in jungle justice. Any human who indulges in it is nothing but a disgusting beast and is very much deserving of the highest possible punishment, under the law. It is an insult to our collective enlightenment and civilization and should be met with contempt, gross disapproval and breathtaking harshness. I hope the proponents of this kind of insanity, who are themselves on the deranged portion of the rather wide spectrum of human sanity can see that there is NO JUSTICE in it whatsoever, given how easily an innocent soul can fall victim of such nauseating lunacy. There's no justification for this kind of action anywhere in the universe, even if the victim was indeed a criminal. It takes an extraordinarily cruel, wicked, heartless mind of utter deprivity to be party to such, which makes the people involved just as bad, or even worse than the criminal they're lynching in the name of "justice".

The army and police should fish out every animal involved in this mess and have him/her punished accordingly to serve as an example for others with such reptilian tendencies.

May the Captain's innocent soul rest in peace, and my heart goes out to his grieved family, friends and admirers.

Heart breaking... This soldier is so humane that he died in a humble and somewhat foolish death. On the humane aspect; He value the lives of his countrymen that he couldn't fire his pistol to avoid killing or harming anyone, patriotism at its peak! On the side of foolishness: he could have fired several shots on the air to scare angry mobs. At the point where it's clear enough that he could loose his life, he could have shot one overzealous angry mob on the leg at least, to chase others away. Very pitiful!

Why would a soldier not on uniform be jogging with a pistol on him?

Wickedness dwells in the heart of men. Couldn't they have taken him to a police station or something? Why kill an innocent man who had a young wife and two children to take care of.This is man's inhumanity to man.
I wonder what state his wife would be in.This must be traumatic,to think he died a gruesome death alone can give a heart attack

He could actually have done some of those things you listed, truth is that we will never know since the entire community are now on the run.

Even if he did shot some to wave them off they too would have high-tail it by now.

Himself could have even put up with some silly bravado which irked the mob, who knows.

I wonder who actually gave the published account, certainly not the dead body.

Residents Mistook Soldier For A Robber,Lynch & Burn Him To Death (Photos)

A military officer with the 5th Infantry Battalion (5BN) at Burma Camp in Accra but on detachment duties at Diaso 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 life threatening object including cement blocks until he died.


News of his death was later conveyed to his subordinates who visited the scene to ascertain things for themselves.


The body has since been conveyed to a health facility in the area but for fear of being attacked by the soldiers who may  avenge his death, the youths have started fleeing the town realizing that the deceased was not a criminal as they thought.

It's extremely regrettable.. All those involved in his killing will never know peace..The God of vengeance will avenge his death. Every tears shed by his loved ones will hunt the useless animals. Even if he was an armed robber must he be burned alive? I hate African mentality with passion

You are foolish to say the least. Have you ever been faced by a mob? I can only imagine the guy was trying to appeal for calm and identify himself so that he wouldn't have to kill anybody.
