Why arrest a minor, instead of giving psychological help? The minor is still statutory, therefore the authorities must released him immediately. I have several times in all the social media venture available to me to condemned Captain Mahama's lynching. It's despicable, unacceptable and imaginable. Having condemned it, i would also ask the media to stop hype, it's enough. There are many people who have been lynched without any justice but the same media has brushed off. In Ghana people are not the same. Your social standing count soo much????

Check Ghana's laws again. A 12-year old is not a minor in the case of murder. Responsibility for murder starts from age 12. For other offences, he may be considered minor. Please read the Criminal Code, Act 29.

The purpose for arresting him is that he will have vital information leading to the unravelling of the gory murder and they have not told anyone that he is being charged. Besides a 12 year old who knows what happened was bad and decided to escape should be held accountable. He may be bodily a minor but intellectually he is mature and if found culpable should be dealt with.

There so many versions of the story out there and each with some truth mixed with a whole lot of incredible lies. We observe a whole set of seemly unconnected circumstances that led to this unfortunate event, yes unfortunate because no one should be killed in that way not even a dog. We should look at the motives of the actors , the assembly man was acting on behalf of powerful men who had had 27 excavators seized by that unit was loosing money daily. Its evident he went for a meeting but lied to his colleagues he was going for jogging hoping to shake these criminals down for a few million dollars due to his unreasonable greed . The assemblyman being only a front-man could not approve the amounts required and a stalemate of several months would mean he the assemblyman would eventually pay for that mess with his life so opted for the only foolish quick solution he thought was available and that was to kill the captain .The captain had already been through a similar situation before when on a peacekeeping mission was captured and beaten to a pulp by the locals after surrendering his gun,so was returned home. Instead of the army discharging him or putting him under some psychological evaluation ignored the fact that he was damaged goods and gave him a new posting.Our army is now incompetent and unprofessional due to the fact that they have recruited more Ewes and northerners in order for them to use it one day to secure the colonization of Akan territories like the Hausas have done in Nigeria, this they have done and accepted substandard individuals like this captain.I have said all security agencies need to be disbanded a new ones reformed or one day things will deteriorate in a Somali like state.

Update On The Death Of Captain Mahama: More Shocking Revelations Pops Up | Here All The Gist

When the news broke of the murder of Captain Maxwell Adams Mahama, the reasons cited for this gruesome act didn’t match up. There were, in fact, more loopholes in the story going around.
In fact, it was alleged Captain Mahama went for an early jogging and he was mistaken for an armed robber because he had a gun with.

But a critical look at the story didn’t hold up. It was clear from the video circulating the man was not in a jogging kits. And also the video showed the town folks lynched him in a broad day light.

Well, the team that has visited the town to conduct the investigation has explained what really happened and it will bring tears to your eyes.

READ THE REPORT FROM THE TEAM BELOW

Apparently, Captain Mahama was invited to a meeting by the same Assemblyman who organized the group for the lynching.He and some group of other residents convinced him that it was for the betterment of the area. They sent an Okada guy (Motor used as a taxi) to pick him up.

The meeting took place 13kms away from his base (I am not sure Max will go for 13km jogging). The meeting (for the release of their equipment) we understand did not go well for the Assemblyman n his guys.

After the meeting, Max came to the roadside looking for a vehicle (no common in the area) and it was there he decided to buy something from some women by the roadside. That was where the women saw his pistol n drew the attention of the town folks.

They approached Max and he told them he was a soldier and that they should send him to the police station but they will have none of that including the Okada guy who picked him up.

They attempted lynching him and he fired the Okada rider’s thigh, he then tried jumping on a moving truck and Urvan ( A moving bus) but they fired both vehicle windscreens and that was when Max gave up and placed his pistol on ground n lifted his hands and they pounced n lynched him.

The ladies in the pictures/videos seen lighting fire and taking pics are members of the assembly. The assemblyman provided drinks for the mobsters after the killing.

The Assemblyman (Has surrounded himself to the police last night) and the ladies are still on the run but the military has 4 key culprits including the injured Okada rider.

A boy in the town in the town after the ‘fine treatment’ by the military finally confessed what transpired.Meanwhile, The District Chief Executive has been warned by the team to shut up.

May The Soul Of Captain Mahama Rest In Perfect Peace. He was a true son of Ghana. Rest

Your talking of Northerners and Ewes in the army and eventually wanting to colonise the Akans is just stupidity without qualification. Please come again.

Andrew, well said but this psychological help and all that the textbooks say, works well in the environment in which you find yourself. Even in the white man's movies, you only have to threaten someone probably with a gun or other, to be given the information you need. With we black Africans, beatings is one of the numerous ways to get the truth. I bet you will never see a woman in Melbourne torching another human being in public for whatever reason. Are you saying that such a woman too shd be told her Miranda rights and her constitutional rights etc? Of course she wouldn't understand that. Do you know how Kofi Boakye became our best cop in this country? He's very good at torturing the most criminal elements in our society and getting the truth and thereby bringing some sanity to this society. As an American resident here, I know where you're coming from with this advice but unfortunately, it doesn't wk like that here.

By the way, the police said they're sure the boy will be able to offer them some information. Until things get better, I'm sorry to tell you that the only method applicable here is what the police are using. Too bad.

You are right npp is never serious. If you cannot feed basic school pupils how do you intend to make shs free for all plus feeding grants? Jokers party. No wonder you are resorting to progressive free shs approach. Pay all monies due the caterers now! Fulani Samira is pregnant at the flagstar house to useless Bawumia. What a shame

The criminal code of Ghana states that nothing is a crime committed by a person under 12years. The 12-year boy albeit a minor in other respects, is criminally responsible. He is not a minor in terms of the criminal law jurisprudence of Ghana. He must face the full consequences of the law as a juvenile.

Ghanaians be honest, the whole matter is " ALL DIE BE DIE has been working since Nana Addo became Npp leader. Flash back; Even Atiwa we showed Ghanaians just the tip of the iceberg . Therefore, what are Ghanaians saying if nobody was able to chastise Nana Addo at the time and now the Demons have taken over. Remember,what you say has become life and spirit, says the WORD Of GOD,Hallelujah. Please Nana Addo need to REPENT and confess his sins to set Ghana free from destruction. WISDOM AND REVELATION! AMEN
