Blame Police for Capt. Mahama’s Death-Denkyira-Boase residents

-



Residents of Denkyira-Boase in the Upper Denkyira West District of  the Central Region  who took the law into their own hands and  lynched Captain Maxwell Adams  Mahama, a leader of military detachment in the area said it was  due to lack of trust they  had in the security services.

According to them, each time they arrest suspected criminals and hand them over to the police, they [criminals] are mostly freed a development they believe has emboldened them to resort to instant justice each time an alarm is raised about a suspect.

“We choose to lynch criminals because it is difficult for us to believe what they always claim they are. I am sure that also applied in the case of Captain Maxwell Mahama” a resident told mynewsgh.com’s Kwabena Danso-Dapaah who visited the area on Wednesday May 30, 2017.

“It is difficult these days to believe a stranger even if the person is speaking truth.  We have heard reports of police and military personnel arrested for robbery and other crimes”

“I am told he was about to show them an identity card indicating he is an officer from 5BN but the residents  did  not believe it and lynched him “

Captain Maxwell Mahama was lynched by the residents while jogging on the early hours of Monday on suspicion of being an armed robber when spotted by some women he stopped to ask for direction.

Armed troops stormed the area on Tuesday morning to arrest the town folks for investigation and possibly prosecution of culprits alleged to have mastered the attack on the senior military officer.

Residents are said to have fled from the town for fear of arrest by the military personnel.

YOU CAN'T TELL A BOOK BY IT'S COVER

Students of KTU have a crucial and pivotal role to play when it comes to the implementation   of the well being of characters in this our noble institution. We can only talk about an inclusive society if the political decision makers are intimately convinced of the need to include persons with disabilities fully in our societies. Persons with disabilities have indeed the right to enjoy their political rights on an equal basis with others. This includes the right to vote and be voted for and   defend their rights as citizens. Sketchily, Disability is as most people would describe it; "A state of the body", which is in contrary. More figuratively, "Disability is a state of the mind". The word ‘ DISABILITY ’ isn’t apt enough to tally with its negative social connotations as imperfect human beings. We're all defective in our own ways. Some pieces of our speech patterns, opinions and outlooks, our body language, mannerism, our overly or under skillfulne...

Five important things Android does better than iOS

Android and iOS have plenty of differences. Here are five places we think Google is doing better than Apple. The internet is filled with words about  Android  and  iOS  and why one is better than the other. It makes for fun writing and reading because everyone likes to hear about why the thing they prefer is better than the thing they don't, but there are some important things each operating system does better than the other. In a perfect world, Apple and Google would merge and the result (Gapple?) would make software with the best from both sides. Since that's never going to happen, let's look at five important things Android does better than iOS. Storage options Everyone knows that some Android phones have an  SD card  slot. This is easy to see but is a result of the overall way Android handles external storage. External storage is more than SD cards. Android allows you to use external storage from an SD card inserted into the phone or a USB ca...

8 Of The Best High-Low Outfit Combinations

Fashion's  shift towards the streets  in recent years is understandably concerning for any man who's spent half a decade cultivating a solid tailoring rotation. But just because it’s now perfectly acceptable to look like you've just left a rave or the gym pretty much any hour of the day doesn't mean those double-monks and three-pieces need to be sent into storage. High-low dressing is the art of combining formal and casual clothing in a way that strips the former of its stuffiness, and the latter of its off-duty appearance. However, striking the right balance is tough. For every Justin Timberlake, accessorising a perfectly cut two-button suit with white leather sneakers, there's an Ed Sheeran, looking like he turned up late to a family wedding and had to wear his dad's spare suit with the Air Jordans he wore on the train. Sorry, Ed. Avoid making the same mistake by following our guidelines, which will ensure your style's more up-down than down and out. ...
