Minority Leader in Parliament, Haruna Iddrisu is calling for swift justice for the late Major Maxwell Adam Mahama.
The late Major Mahama who was buried today, was lynched and killed by some residents at Denkyira Oboase whiles on duty in the area.
So far a total of 42 persons suspected to have played roles in the murder of Major Mahama have been remanded in police custody.
On the floor of the House today, Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu said swift justice for the late Major Maxwell Adam Mahama is important to bring some respite to the family.
He indicated that, the late officer “demonstrated extreme professionalism” as he could easily have “taken other lives as his life was being taken” since he wielded a pistol, yet restrained himself.
“The best we can do in his memory, in living and sacrificing for the state, is to punish the perpetrators of the act and to unravel the mystery and the various stories behind his murder. The truth must be established and those culpable punished accordingly,” he observed.
Haruna Iddrisu said “Parliament supports the establishment of a monument for his memory; it can be a Major Mahama Barracks situated anywhere in Ghana but in a place visible so that we can all say ‘it is an end to mob justice’.”
