President Nana Akufo-Addo has assured the family of the late Captain Maxwell A. Mahama that none of those involved in his killing will go scot-free.
Captain Mahama was lynched by some irate youth at Denkyira Obuasi in the Central Region 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.
Mr Akufo-Addo described the crime as “heinous” and the death of the soldier as a “tragic loss”.
“My condolences to the family of Captain Maxwell Mahama on their tragic loss. I assure them that the perpetrators of 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,” he said in multiple tweets.
At the time of the incident, Capt. Mahama was not in any military attire. He left behind a wife and two children.
Thirty-five soldiers and two military officers have been deployed to Denkyira Obuasi to conduct a swoop in search of the killers.
Meanwhile, former President John Dramani Mahama has also consoled the family of the victim.
“My heart goes out to my brother, Capt. Chubby Adam Mahama (Rtd.) on the murder of his son, Capt. Maxwell Mahama. And my condolences to the wife of Capt. Maxwell Mahama, his young children & to his mother on the loss of her only son,” Mr Mahama tweeted.

NCCE must be blamed for this sad death of the Captain. The mere fact that a person is holding a gun does not make him or her an armed robber. Public education in the country is very weak. People are not doing their job well. I am so much saddened with Captain Mahama's death. It should have been on the public office holders and the politicians stealing the nations money. The Military must look after the wife and send the kids to better or first class education outside the country. How i wish it was the corrupt politicians being lynched that way.
But the killers of JB Danquah can go scot free....Ghanaians should not take this devilish dwarf President serious....
SO MUCH TALK AND NO ACTION WILL AMOUNT TO NOTHING.AS MUCH AS THE SOLDIERS DEATH IS UNPARDONABLE,IF THE MENACE OF ARMED ROBBERY IS TACKLED HEAD ON AND PEOPLE ARE SAFE,THESE ACTS OF BARBARISM WILL NEVER HAPPEN.WE HAVE TO TACKLE THE ROUTE CAUSE OF THESE LYNCHING.

Well with Mahama we were FED up and you also going that same LANE. We jux chok it time will Tell. DELTA FORCE xaf u did nothing and now this. Politicians are not to be Trusted . NDC steal with Takashe movement whereas NPP steals with brains ,so if u not smart u see nothing. God bless GH
This instant justice must stop. The police must be up and doing and stop the corruption which has led to their disgrace and lost of trust in the public. This must serve as a danger to all practicing democracy which others take as showing power to others while leaving others out and using that to ste*l from the state. If the ndc had done a good job and instilled discipline in the people instead of their own selfish interest I don't think our country would have travelled on this path. A country that neglects the youth encourages crime,it is in the Bible that an idle hands is a hungry hand and a hungry man is an angry man. Nana I agree with you that the youth must be put to work and all these armed robbery which turns out to kill innocent people will minimize. I'm angry with myself for our beloved country to be turned into this. Young man,you are a hero and may God give you perfect peace.
That DCE must learn from the President. His contribution to the problem was needless. A f00l and one of course.
Thank you President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo! God bless you. Mahama, so he's your nephew? You see what galamsey has done to your family? Hmm...... very, very, sad. Rest In Peace Maxwell.
