Members of Parliament’s Defence and Interior Committee are calling for an immediate investigation into the death of Captain Maxwell Mahama who was the Detachment Commander at Diaso in the Central Region.
Captain Mahama was mistaken for an armed robber on Monday, pelted with stones and burnt to death at Denkyira-Obuasi, on his way from jogging by an irate youth who claimed robbers have been terrorizing residents.
The Denkyira-Obuasi, is now a ghost town as majority of the youth have fled fearing that the untoward might happen when the soldiers storm the town to revenge their colleague’s death.
But speaking on the issue, Member of Parliament’s Defence and Interior Committee, Ernest Dogbey says the killing of the military officer is a clear indication that Ghana is in the state of insecurity.
According to him, such acts dent the democratic credentials of the country wondering why the trend has not been curtailed.
The Ashaiman MP, however, called on the security agencies to bring the suspects to book.
