Citi News<\/strong> gathered the armed robbers\u00a0had attacked some residents the day before and the angry youth were on the look out for the criminals hence mistook Captain Maxwell Mahama, who was dressed in civilian clothes as one of the perpetrators,\u00a0having spotted a gun on him.<\/p>\n

There is heightened\u00a0anxiety in the area after the residents learnt that the deceased was a military personnel on duty in the community and not a robber.<\/p>\n

Captain Maxwell Mahama is a member of the 5th Infantry Battalion<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Ghana Armed Force has confirmed the death of the officer and says it is investigating the matter to get the full facts.<\/p>\n

It has urged its personnel to remain calm as the due procedure is taken to bring the perpetrators to book.<\/p>\n
