Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has on behalf of the people of Ghana expressed condolences to the family of the late Captain Maxwell Mahama and vowed that his murderers will be brought to book.
The Vice President made this pledge when he called on the family at Burma Camp in Accra on Wednesday, May 31, 2017.
He said he was stunned by the “evil amongst us” and assured that “we will pursue the perpetrators with all the might of the State to its logical conclusion to ensure that justice is done.”
He also assured of the state’s support for the funeral and the welfare of the late Captain’s family.
“For the family, we want to assure you that we are going to be with you through thick and thin going forward. We will see to it that he gets a befitting burial and do what very is necessary for the family and the children who are left behind,” Dr. Bawumia said.
The Chief of Defence Staff, Lieutenant General Obed Akwa also dismissed claims that the late Captain and his men were on an illegal mission, maintaining that the Military High Command had deployed them on an officially-sanctioned mission.
He further thanked the officers and men of the armed forces for the restraint they had shown in these “trying times”.
