Ghanaians haven’t learned any lesson from Major Mahama’s death – Father

Father of Late Major Maxwell Adam Mahama has said, Ghanaians have not learnt any lesson in the aftermath of the death of Major Maxwell Mahama exactly two years ago.

According to him, the issue of mob action has still been occurring in the past two years since the tragic death happened to his son.

”We haven’t learnt anything neither has it even picked our senses. What happened to Major Mahama is still being perpetrated .It’s still happening, innocent lives are still inc-lamed by mob action” he said in an interview with TV3.

That Notwithstanding, he is hopeful that, the SAY NO TO MOB ACTION FOUNDATION set up will drive home the agenda.

Fourteen persons are standing trial at the Accra High Court over the killing of Major Mahama, who was an Officer of the 5th Infantry Battalion, at the Burma Camp.
