A number of suspects have been arrested over the grisly
murder of military officer in Denkyira Boase in the Central Region,
Ghana on Monday, May 29.
The officer, Captain Maxwell Mahama was lynched by
residents of the Denkyira Boase Township on suspicion of being an armed
robber. He was a military officer with the 5th Infantry Batallion (5BN)
at Burma Camp in Accra but on detachment duties there where he met his
untimely death.

Capt. Mahama who is the commander of the area military
detachment, according to his subordinates, was seen jogging along the
main road and as he stopped by to ask some women for directions, the
women saw a pistol on him.
Alarmed by the pistol on him, the women mistook him for an
armed robber thereby alerting their assembly member who allegedly
organised some men to lynch him and even burnt him in the process.
Their action is said to have been influenced by recent
robbery attacks in the area with a recent one being a day before as the
people in the mining town have been subjected to some serious robbery
attacks. Capt. Mahama was not in uniform when the incident happened.
