Speaking to Accra-based Citi FM he said she has been very quiet since the sad news was broken to her.

“She is 26 years old. So I don’t know whether at 26 she would have been prepared for such a situation. She hasn’t spoken at all. She was very quiet when the military visited.”

“She’s obviously still stunned and in a state of shock,” Dr Fred McBagonluri added.

He added that the family believes the death of Capt. Mahama must start “a new conversation on law and order in this country.”

Even though the family demands justice Dr Fred McBagonluri said: “justice for our family isn't for other people to be summarily killed like our son [Adams Mahama]was.”

Captain Maxwell Mahama was lynched after the residents who had witnessed an armed robbery incident the night before raised an alarm.

He was reportedly carrying a gun and the residents led by the assemblyman organised some youth in the town to beat him to death and burnt his mortal remains.

Meanwhile, the Central Regional Police has arrested five in connection with the murder of the military officer.
