A female suspect, said to be the woman, who
was seen taking close up photos of the late Captain Maxwell Adam
Mahama’s body, in the video evidence widely shared on social media has
been arrested by the police in Kumasi.
On social media, majority have concluded that the said woman, was the
one who set Captain Mahama’s body ablaze, but others have argued that,
from a careful look at the video, she was using a phone to get close up
photos.
Some criminologists have argued that, all the people around the scene of
the incident, deemed to have urged the mob on are equally liable
including whether or not, the said suspect only took a photo or set the
body ablaze.
Graphic Online’s Donald Ato Dapatem reported from Kumasi on Saturday
morning that, the Ashanti Regional Police Commander, DCOP Ken Yeboah has
confirmed to him that a female suspect has been picked up.
DCOP Yeboah said the police have arrested “a couple of women” one of
them they suspect to be the said female suspect in the video.
The police commander told Graphic Online’s correspondent that
investigations were still ongoing to fish out the said suspect out of
the number of women they have in their custody.
What happened?
It has emerged that the said food seller who allegedly raised the false
alarm, that the late Captain Maxwell Adam Mahama, was a suspected armed
robber was selling snails.
Captain Mahama had reportedly stopped to buy snails, and when he took
money from his pocket to pay for the snails, the trader saw the pistol
and reportedly informed the assemblyman of Denkyira Obuasi that the
young military officer was an armed robber.
According to the police, without verifying the identity of Captain
Mahama, the assemblyman and armed townsfolk accosted the military
officer, gave him a chase, shot at him, and eventually pounced on him
using cement blocks, clubs, among others, until he died around 10am on
Monday, two hours after he had started the jogging.
