The Woman who raised "false alarm" about the identity of Captain Adam Mahama leading to his lynching by a mob in Diaso in the Upper Dankyira West District of the Central Region has been identified, the Director of CID, DCOP Bright Oduro, has said.

According to the CIB boss, she is a snail seller.

He said: “We have the identity of the woman who sold the snails to Captain Adam. Unfortunately, when we went there yesterday we did not see any woman selling at the roadside. As I said, everyone has gone into hiding.

"I believe she has also gone into hiding, but as I have indicated, we have her identity. We have her name and we are in the process of tracking her down."

“She does not sell alone, there are other women.

"We are not sure that it was she that gave out the information, but through our investigation we will be able to establish who actually did that. But the one who sold the snails to the captain we are doing our utmost best to track her down.”
