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.
The Ghana Armed Forces have since confirmed the incident and said investigations are ongoing.
