Akufo-Addo storms Denkyira-Boase on August 11

President, Nana Akufo-Addo will visit Denkyira-Boase in the Central Region to see where the late army officer, Major Maxwell Adams Mahama was lynched by residents.

“The President on 11 of this month will come to the region and he is expected to go to Denkyira-Boase to meet chiefs and opinion leaders there”, Deputy Central Regional Minister, Hon. Thomas Agyei Baffour revealed.

“We have communicated the visit to the Chiefs and everyone concerned that on the 11 the President will pay working visit to them”.

Major Maxwell Adam Mahama was the platoon Commander at Denkyira-Boase in the Upper Denkyira West District of the Central Region.
