According to him, such a move will alert Ghanaians on the repercussions of engaging in such heinous acts.
He said that the police administration must ensure that investigations into the murder are thorough so that suspects are convicted when they appear before court.
“Our hope and our prayer as we join voices as a nation this morning is that these investigations are not conducted in the normal way as most of these investigations are done… But that these investigations are done in a manner driven by a clear desire to get convictions in the court,” Mr. Oppong Nkrumah said.

“My personal desire is that the trial and sentencing of the persons responsible is carried live on national television so that the many people who have seen this act, will also see some punishment being exacted,” he added.
He believed that “Captain Mahama’s death should not be left to have happened in vain. If for nothing at all, we should take advantage of it and use it as an opportunity to stop this dastardly act in our country once and for all.”
