A military capo who spoke to Kumasi-based Abusua Fm on grounds of strict anonymity has revealed that the murder of Captain Maxwell Mahama of the 5th Infantry Battalion (5BN) was all planned by his assailants taking into account the chronology of events.
“Denkyira-Boase and Diaso will never know peace. We are not going to attack them but God in his own way will atone for the death of this soldier who was killed by the very people he went to protect. You can see that his lynching was well planned”, he disclosed.
According to him, the death of a soldier is no news when they die on battlefield but when a military officer is killed in the manner Captain Maxwell Mahama who was killed in his home country at a town he went to protect its folks, it makes the situation very annoying.
“We won’t fight them back because if we want to fight they cannot fight us. They have not only killed a soldier but they have killed the spirit of a soldier.
They accuse us of beating residents and not beating Chinese nationals engaging in galamsey and in revolt killed one of us like a fowl. Captain Mahama was a good man he could have killed dozens of them with the weapon he had if he chose to when he realized his life was under threat in self-defense”, he stated.
He disclosed that Captain Maxwell Mahama is a battle-tested soldier who is trained to kill but chose the country over galamsey indicating that the life of a soldier must be respected.
While expressing worry over the manner in which he was killed and humiliated by being stripped naked and burnt, he disclosed that military officers across the country are not happy over the incident.

"a bad wind that blows no body good"
i have really lost much hope, trust and respect to an extent in the military. The police and the courts, let be honest with ourselves, have lost the respect, dignity and are no more revered as they are supposed to be. I do not condone or endorse military brutality, but we are here today because of the "democrazy" we claim to be in this era. The military to maintain their respect, dignity and also be our only hope in maintaining law and order.... should have used every and any means necessary "THE JACK BAUER" STYLE to fish out these roguess...... If this is not done, then trust you me.....no one not even the president with all the security detail, is safe in this country. That town should have been turned up-side-down by now. Look at what and where democracy has landed us? The people have lost faith in the Police and the courts. The police feel it is waste of their time to arrest an arm robber, process him for court only for the courts to set him free. This robber then targets the police officer who is likely to treated as captain. The police will rather encourage you to kill the robber, they will pick the corpse away....... Soldiers, please keep the tempo do not listen to these politicians who are only and genuinely concerned about votes hence when the wrong is being perpetrated, they will pretend to be doing something but in actual fact, its just a mirage.
The whole thing is so annoying I don't think the residents of these community are human beings. May his soul rest in perfect peace
one journalist from that town spoke on OKAY FM this morning and stated that,the people knew Captain very well so if anyone says they mistook him for a robber its a big lie.According to him,the people were against him Captain for fighting against galamsey which they the people see as the only source of their livelihood and planned against him.its a planned one and God will not forgive them.Even when he had a pistol to fight back,he didnt,what a man...R.I.P Captaian.
There is no fact connecting to the heading. Journalist should go to the ground to fish for facts and depart from hear say.
as worrying as his gentle ssoul has departed, may the family have strength in the Lord but still i insist, nana addo has a WEAK seccurity team, someone must advise him., who is now doing intelligence check for the president, per what the former DCE said on peace news, i realise the community is a bit troubled community and opunity is massive there so who did the intelligence before sending soldiers there., i love nana but no more now bcx seem he is still stacked with his weak security team. look its not disgrace to make reschuffle compare to coup detat. the ealier the better, we are not seeing any sign of good governance, though we have economic gurus, ghana is still like standstill, let there be a positive shake up in the country, enough of ofori atta stingyness, enough of ken dapaah lapses, let the country move pls nana
