SOLDIER LYNCHED TO DEATH ON SUSPICION
OF BEING AN ARMED ROBBER
A soldier in
Denkyira-Obuasi in the Central Region has been lynched to death by a mob in the
area on suspicion of being an armed robber.
According to
reports, the soldier was jogging Monday dawn and not in uniform, but had a
pistol on him.
Having
stopped to ask some women for directions, they saw the pistol and assumed he
was an armed robber, due to a recent spate of robberies in the area – and ran
to inform an assembly man who organised a mob.
Despite all
pleas of the soldier that he wasn’t a robber but a military officer, he was beaten
to death anyway by the mob.
The soldier,
Capt Maxwell Mahama, was on detachment to the area from Burma Camp in Accra.
Police in
the area have confirmed the case and are investigating, although reports
indicate some youth of the town have fled for fear of revenge from other
soldiers.
