The President signed the book of condolence and said he had agreed to the suggestion by the Chief of the Defence Staff, Lt General Obed Akwa, for a monument to be erected in honour of the fallen soldier at a location to be announced to remind Ghanaians of the event of May 29, 2017.

A memorial trust fund with a seed money of GH¢500,000 has also been set up by the government to cater for his wife and children.

John Dumelo in a tweet to congratulate President said "Late Captain Mahama promoted to the rank of Major. Thanks @NAkufoAddo. God bless you."

The President also donated GH¢50,000 from his personal resources to the fund to be managed by past and present government officials.
