The woman who reportedly set ablaze Capt. Maxwell Mahama’s body after he was lynched at Denkyira-Oboase in the Upper West Denkyira district of the Central region has been arrested.
She was arrested Friday night, the Central Regional Police commander DCOP David Ampah Benin told Kasapa News.
The suspect was seen in the murder video torching the body of the Junior Military Officer with a match.
Sixteen people have since been arrested following the murder of Capt. Maxwell Mahama.
Seven out of the 16 are on remand including William Baah, the assemblyman who allegedly mobilised the youth to attack the soldier.
Background
Captain Maxwell Mahama, who was a Commander of a Military Detachment in Boase was killed by the inhabitants when he went for jogging Monday morning on suspicion he was an armed robber.
Two women reportedly saw a pistol on him, and because of an armed robbery incident that had happened recently in the area, alarmed by their discovery of the pistol called the assemblyman for the area who organized the youth of the town to lynch him.
Captain Maxwell Mahama who was not dressed in military uniform at the time pleaded several times that he was not a criminal, but the angry residents kept hitting him with cement blocks until he died. They then burned his body.
CLARIFICATION: Woman Who Was Captured With A Phone Recording Captain Mahama’s Murder Which Many Took For Lighting A Fire ARRESTED
The woman is seen in some of the photos up-close to Captain Mahama’s body on the floor–recording his body with a phone. Initially, many thought she was lighting fire into him but a later video showed that she was just holding a phone and not lighting any fire.
Apparently, she had escaped to a village near Kumasi, where she was arrested.

If you think everything happening is because of ndc Era then you are a big moron. Was ndc in power when delta force forced out the security coordinator. Was ndc in power when the police officer was beaten at flagstaff house. Did ndc waged knee-jerk war against galamsey without providing alternative jobs to the youth who have been unemployed. If you sleeping president has allowed these impunity, why blame ndc which is now in opposition. After all Ghanaians have voted them out, so fix it and stop this infantile blame game. I have heard that anytime Nana addo want to sleep, he goes to tour some countries in Africa. The man is simple lazy, who doesn't want to work.
I second she might be a witch
Ndc shouldn't come here to tell me NPP is in cobtrol what is happening now are continuation of what ndc sent the country through.If a soldier in war is wounded by the enemies and later rescued and his wounds being treated you don't put the blame on those who rescued the prisoner of war. The trauma will continue until the wound is healed and the soldier goes through Counselling before he will recover,so Ghana is going through the trauma and the injury that the ndc 8 us*less years sent the good people if this country through so the NPP are in the process of healing and counselling and everything will be fine God's willing, Ghana will work again, IN GOD WE TRUST.
Sad day for Ghana. This woman has the heart to video or take a photo of murdered soldier? How could she stand this gruesome murder and take a photo? Is she a mother? How could she? Where is the Ghanaian sense of remorse? Our Emotions! I am sad. RIP our dear brother. May justice be delivered for this fallen soldier. But my appeal is that lets punish but not death because that will not bring Capt. back. Let God be the sole decider of life, please. Let's not kill anyone for Capt's death, please.
Why most people from the village have wicked faces like that both men and women. No doubt they don't have sympathy for human life;I'm still in pain for the death of this gentleman who laid his life to protect the very people who were cruel to him from external and internal aggression. I can't imagine what has come into Ghanaians of today to be that wicked and callous to their own people. There is something really,really wrong with the country. The lawlessness from that military junta of 1979 and 1989 that brought PDCs and people's militia are the cause of indiscipline and lawlessness in our country. The break down of the security forces by corruption and order from above syndrome are all causes of Ghana being a banana republic. For Ghana to go back for our past glories we all need to pray to God for forgiveness and restoration of our dignity,2ndly never shall Ghana allow indiscipline and power drunk,order from above ndc to rule this nation again.Ndc has no respect for the laws of this country,they behave like they've conquered Ghana and the people in it are their slaves under their control so can do whatever to trample over them,insult and say all sorts of things to our leaders and Pastors. If an indiscipline people rule a nation the nation is cursed. Ndc is not good for Ghana. Never again
So far i have not seen a single person who is a bit beautiful or handsome from that village. They must be cursed . And they had the audacity to kill that innocent and all round handsome man
