A high-powered fact-finding team from the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) led by the Chief of the Army Staff is proceeding to Denkyira-Obuasi in the Central Region to ascertain the facts leading to the death of Captain M.A. Mahama of 5 Battalion of Infantry.

A statement issued and signed by GAF's Director Public Relations, Colonel, E Aggrey-Quashie confirmed the death of Capt. Mahama of 5 Battalion of Infantry. 

According the statement, “Initial report indicates the officer was lynched by locals of Denkyira-Obuasi in the Central Region whilst he was jogging at about 08.30 am on Monday 29 May 2017, under circumstances yet to be verified.
