The Police has revealed that the murder of Captain Maxwell Mahama, was occasioned by a snail seller’s false alarm that suggest he was an armed robber after she spotted a sidearm on him.<\/p>\n
Captain Maxwell Mahama had stopped to buy snails from her, paid for it and told her he would return for the snails on his way back from a jogging routine.<\/p>\n
The woman, upon seeing the sidearm [a pistol] while Captain Mahama was taking out money to pay her,\u00a0secretly called the assemblyman for the area, Denkyira-Obuasi, and informed him of what she had seen.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”Ze7TIcqMtBYWiReqEA7qWMs6zpwrmbaI”]The Assemblyman then mobilized some youth who without verifying the identity of Capt. Mahama, carried out the gruesome attack and murdered\u00a0him.<\/p>\n
The Police made this known at a press conference in Accra to present findings from its general criminal investigations into the murder of the military man.<\/p>\n
IGP, David Asante-Apeatu, who also addressed the press conference, said the police is instituting measures to stop the menace of mob action.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe police service which I head, has already started putting measures in place to eradicate these acts of impunity… These measures include stern enforcement of the law, liaising with other relevant institutions to embark on massive public education, strengthening criminal investigations, and taking community policing to a higher level,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
