A military officer with the 5th
Infantry Battalion (5BN) at Burma Camp in Accra but on detachment duties at
Denkyira Boase in the Upper Denkyira West District of the Central region has
been lynched by residents on suspicion of being an armed robber.
Captain Maxwell Mahama who is
commander of a military detachment in the area according to his subordinates,
on Monday dawn was seen jogging along the main road and as he stopped by to ask
some women for directions, they saw the pistol on him.
According to them, he was not
dressed in military uniform and because of recent spate of armed robbery in the
town after residents were attacked a day earlier, the women called the Assembly
man who organized the youth of the town to lynch him.

Several pleas by the security
officer to the effect that he was not a criminal yielded no result as the angry
residents kept hitting him until he died. The police have now launched
