Lecturer to the late Major Maxwell Adams Mahama is urging president Akufo-Addo to sign the death sentence of killers of the late soldier should the court hearing their case rule in that regard.
According to Prof. Ransford Yaw Gyampo, after the president has assented to the death sentence, the convicts must be subjected to public execution as this will make mob action unattractive to the citizenry.
Prof. Ransford Gyampo who is also head of the Center for European Studies of the University of Ghana believes the public execution will also deter the citizenry from lynching innocent persons like in the case of Major Maxwell Adam Mahama who he said was his student.
Speaking in an interview, the lecturer said, “I really think the president should sign and assent to death sentence of the accused if the court rules in that regard.”
“After assenting to such a ruling, if any, the execution should be done publicly to deter other lawless citizens from meting out instant mob action against innocent citizens of the land.”
The sad looking lecturer adds, “there must also be a memorial statue in the town of Denkyira Oboase in other to constantly remind the up and coming generation of the area that once upon a time, their forebearers took the life of an innocent soldier sent to protect their own environment.”
“The late Adams Mahama’s senseless killing must teach the people of that area a lesson they will not easily forget,” he charged.

Then go and sign the death warrant yourself Ok.. Why are u God? I repeat this President Akuffo Addo will never do this evil thing you asking for ..Have u thought and imagine the innocent lives this soldiers and police have innocently killed mistakenly also thinking he or she was an armed robbery...Did anyone bother to comment about it and ordered the president to sign a dead warrant for mistakenly killing an innocent poor man on their duty..Is he the first Ghanaian who has been lynched? If that is the case they should revisit all those previous cases and give justice to the poor, other than making the ordinary Ghanaian feel they have no Justice when you are not rich..This is unfortunate..but there are more severe punishment which can even lead to death than this dead warrant....I dont blame you .. because there is no fairness of justice for the poor man.. You take their life and what happens? The presdo should tried this and God will deal with him.Never worry at all Presdo will never do this evil thing u asking him to.
To I pity U, am also surprise at u, are those killers don't go to church? You people are those who makes our laws don't work. When they were doing that barbaric act did any of them thought of the out come? People commit crimes in our societies and you see pastors, chiefs, mps and other so called big men begging for the release of such person. We always brand ourselves as Christian country and yet we behave like dogs. they must be killed if it happens so to deter others from mob action.
Very sad tragedy. Yes. The whole nation is in mourning but do we need to execute the killers? Let's eschew this emotional discussion of the issue at hand. They will be sentenced if found guilty. We need to heal quick and build Ghana. What happened I bet is the last mob killing in Ghana. Major Mahama with a gun in hand couldn't kill, how much more........... That will be the last he will wish for the killers. RIP MAJOR
If you give them death sentence to the poor man and what happens? I thought u people says we are Christian country?Am surprise at a whole a lecturer could make such a loose statement.. We need to be careful with certain utterances next time the table will turn.. It will be a poor man against a very important personality..It only God who has the right to take human life..President Akuffo Addo will never do this evil thing u r requesting...The questions is dont we have innocent poor man who were mob same way ? What did the whole nation did about it ? Nothing does it mean poor man have no justice? Am not God but let anyone sign this sentence for this poor murderers and see what will happen to their family..
I hope they are executed in their own town and at same location they killed this officer and given mass burial at the same location. These people must not go free must all faces justice.
Their execution will take place right in their own town Denkyira- Mboawasi, just like Kofi Chintoh eras They would be hanged same place they killed that Handsome husband,son,father and our brave soldier!
