“Major Maxwell Mahama’s death should not be in vain, we should use that to sensitize the whole nation to rise up against mob action".“It is to make sure that what happened to him does not happen to anybody. We do not want any family to go through that pain. So it is to campaign against mob justice,” he said.
As part of activities marking the late Major Mahama’s birthday, the Foundation is making donations at the Teshie Orphanage home, and would also use the opportunity to educate patrons about the ills associated with mob action.
