Seven days after the country was thrown into a state of shock with the news of the gruesome lynching of Captain Adam Mahama, pictures, videos and other memorabilia in his memory are emerging.

Among these, is a video of late Captain Adam Mahama commanding a parade during the 2015 State of the Nation Address which was to be presented by then president, John Mahama.

Late Captain Mahama was lynched in Denkyira Obuasi, a village in Upper Denkyira West district of the Central Region on Monday 29th May 2017.

He was mistaken by some residents of the community, who spotted a gun on him as he embarked on his routine jogging, to be an armed robber.

About 17 people are in police grip in connection with the tragic murder.

The family of the late Captain has announced that he will be buried on Friday.

Late Captain was due for promotion to the rank of a Major.
