A retired Captain in the Ghanaian Army, Captain Budu Koomson (rtd) has called for a capital punishment of death by firing squad for the killers of late soldier, Major Maxwell Mahama, who was lynched by a mob at Denkyura Obuasi, the central region of Ghana.
Captain Budu Koomson (rtd) is of the opinion that an execution of the perpetrators will send a strict message to people against mob injustice.
The retired soldier, in an interview with Adom News, said the ceremony to honour the fallen soldier will be a faze if those involved don’t face the full rigorous of the law.
“We’ve atoned ourselves; we’ve told God, Maxwell and ourselves that we are sorry so a swift investigations investigation of what happened, trial and the consequences applied.
“If they are found guilty, the extreme punishment allowed should be given and if the
death penalty is still in our status books and they [suspects] qualify for death, let us execute them by firing squad.”
Police have since arrested 52 suspects, including eight women linked with the gruesome murder of Major Maxwell Adam Mahama, who was buried last week.
