The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) has taken over the entire town of Diaso in Denkyira Obuasi following the gruesome lynching of army Captain Maxwell Mahama by the townsfolk.

Captain Mahama was lynched on suspicion that he was an armed robber, after a group of residents from whom he asked for directions during a Monday dawn jogging session spotted a pistol on him.

The soldiers are combing the town for Captain Mahama’s killers.
