A state burial service for Major Maxwell Adam Mahama who was murdered gruesomely a week ago by some residents of Denkyira-Obuasi in the Central Region is ongoing at the Forecourt of the State House in Accra as directed by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
Major Mahama’s remains would be laid to rest at the Osu Military Cemetary after the burial service, followed by the final funeral rites at the Forecourt of the State House.
Dignitaries and political party functionaries including Ex-President John Dramani Mahama, whose nephew is the slained soldier are there to show their last respect to Major Adam Mahama.
Ex-President John Agyekum Kufuor is also there to give his last respect to the late soldier.
Captain Mahama, who was on Monday posthumously promoted to a Major upon the recommendation of Major General Obed Boamah Akwa, Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), commanded a detachment of army troops assigned to the Upper West Denkyira District to clamp down on illegal mining.
President Akufo-Addo has announced plans to erect a monument in his honour as well as the setting up a GHC 500,000 Trust Fund to cater for the education of the late military officer’s children.

AT THIS DIFFICULT AND TRYING TIME, AS HUMANLY AS WE ARE, WE CAN ONLY ASK GOD TO FORGIVE US AS NATION AND GRANT THE FAMILY OF MAJOR THE DESIRED STRENGTH TO GO THROUGH THE PAIN. THIS SHOULD ALSO SERVE AS A LESSON TO ALL, INSTANT JUSTICE SHOULD NEVER REPEAT ITSELF NEVER AGAIN IN ANY PART OF THE TERRITORIAL AREA OF GHANA WITH EXTENSION TO THE WORLD AS A WHOLE. IT SAD, PITIFUL, COULDN'T CONTROL TEARS. GOD BLESS GHANA.
I hope the an1mals who perpetrated this dastardly act never see the light of day again.There are 2 types of Ghanaians .The Ghanaian with a voice, and the Ghanaian without one. Major Mahama was a Ghanaian with a loud voice so we heard him and we listened. As this gallant son of Ghana was being pummelled to death, 2 other Ghanaians were being dealt in the same shameful manner. One for st3aling Ghs1.50 and the other a hapless woman for being a witch. These 2 are Ghanaians without voices so we never heard them.When did we become so callous, so savage?I expect the NCCE to start a major campaign against this crude ,animalistic and cruel behaviour.Major travel well. May the Lord take you to his bosom.
One healthy corn goes into the ground and die so we can have a bunch of maize. Major Mahama, i know u are resting in Abraham's bosom cos u sacrificed ur life to end numerous instant justices going on in our country in particular and the world as a whole. Jesus reacted against it and our laws does not allow it yet both Christians, Muslims and many more partake in this barbaric act. We hope and pray ur death will be the lastl. May the good Lord protect and comfort Barbara ur wife and ur children, and also comfort ur mother who i can see loves u dearly. May he give ur father strength and courage to overcome what he's going through right now. Rest in peace Maxwell. We'll forever love u.
I WISH THE MURDERERS GET TELEVISION AT THE PRISON TO WATCH WHAT THEY VE CAUSED THE NATION
