A resident of Denkyira-Obuasi has revealed that the death of Capt. Maxwell Mahama was not because he was mistaken for being an armed robber, but a well planned lynching led by the assembly man and those involved in the galamsey business.
According to Kofi Duku, the lynching of the officer was a well planned murder to send a message to the soldiers who were in the town to fight the menace.
