The thanksgiving service of Major Maxwell Mahama was held on Sunday, June 11, at the Light House Chapel International, Qodesh at North Kaneshie in Accra. In attendance were the Senior Minister; Yaw Osafo Marfo, the Defence Minister; Dominic Nitiwul, Chief of Defence Staff; Major General Obed Akwa, General Commanding Officer (GCO) of the Southern Command of the Ghana Armed Forces; Brigadier General Thomas Oppong Peprah, family members, representatives of the Ghana Armed Forces as well as members of the public.
Major Maxwell Adam Mahama was on Friday, June 9 buried at the Military Cemetery after a burial service was held at the forecourt of the State House in Accra. The soldier was lynched and partly burnt on May 29 by some residents of Denkyira-Obuasi in the Central Region who claimed they mistook him for an armed robber. An alarm raised by snail seller Akosua Takyiwaa AKA Maame Bono after she saw Major Mahama’s handgun, resulted in the ambush and murder of the soldier who had been deployed to the area to check the activities of illegal miners.
The final funeral rites will be held at Bole from 13th – 15th June 2017 and Tumu from 16th – 18th June 2017 respectively.
