RIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i'm hardly emotional but this young family man's death is a wake up call to all of us. Africans still primitively lynch people with impunity, time to quit this barbaric act.
HERE IS WHY MAHAMA DIDN'T PARTNER WITH GERMANY OR DENMARK TO DESTROY OUR FORESTS AND POISON OUR RIVERS: UKRAINE HAS A SERIOUS ILLEGAL MINING PROBLEM. SOME OF THE CAUSES ARE MUCH THE SAME AS GHANA'S, NAMELY A BREAKDOWN IN LAW ...

I have never seen anything like this before. So this is what they do to people who steal cell phones, goats, farm products and bicycles? This is what we do to suspects for stealing? So Ghanaians can do this horrific acts???
So, the story about poor Maxwell Mahama went asking for direction was fake a tale, abi? A mate of mine suffered the same fate some years back after seeing her girlfriend off at dawn. So many of us have complained bitterly abo ...

We say this story from the Police commander is fake, because Northners do usually not eat snail. And, how can someone jogging would be carrying snails?

Kwasia kuffuor,your family is useless.stupid boy
I agree with you. We now have the most useless president in Ghana and on earth too. Nana addo and his family are a disgrace to our nation.
Agbesi KWESI you are not an Ewe cos Ewes don't Name KWESI it's rather KORSI..Foolish man from a bush tribe
And you call ewes humans ?
Stupid aliens
What did you say.The thief and the Captain who is not a thief but working in our national interest is more Ghanaian.3fuom like you.
Just listen to urself..."phone thief". He was a thief (guilty) but captain mahama was innocent.
How can you make comparison between the phone snatcher to maxwell mahama,it is insane and senseless plus stupidity to make such comparison.agbesi kwesi next time think before you open your stinky big mouth
Agbesi I think you got your analogy wrong. Comparing a phone thief to the late capt., is like comparing Jesus to the two thieves who were crucified with him. Pls do us a favor, go back to your Korpe!!!!!!!!

Whatever you call yourself be careful
the assembly people want you guys in dankyera. please gather yourselves up and go there.
We are waiting to see how the IGP will deal with Capt. Mahama killers first, then we can start to believe his words. Too much talk and little actions by our leaders.
This can never be true, how will otaniba buy snail for what?.
I'm Akan but mate, on this occasion please let's all be respectful at this difficult times
Does he eat snail? A northerner with snail? and is he jogging with the snails he bought? I think the police can do a better job than this. This story is totally different from the account his Father gave. According to the fat ...

There's more to this. Buying snails whilst jogging and do Northerners eat snails ? Something is fishy.
Of course some northerners eat snails. John Mahama is not a Muslim shocking! Your analysis do not stack up
Eating snail is not about ones religion but cultural. Is eating dog meat in the north religious? Don't be a smartass Mr Smart!!!!
"Community policing"?
Where was the nearest police station to Oboase?
IF YOU WANT FOREIGN INVESTORS PERIOD
ROBBERY IN GHAHA WITH A CAPITAL PUNISHMENT. THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD PUT THE MILITARY IN THE STREET AT NIGHTS TO FIGHT THESE EVIL WICKED THIEVES INCLUDING THE CORRUPT POLITICIANS PERIOD

I fear this Denkyira Obuasi snail seller. I used to buy cocoyam from them ooo. aooooo

Please Mr IGP, I will suggest you don't starting assuring people you are going to stop mob action against innocent people. Do you have to become an IGP before taking action? All of us Ghanaian are hypocrites.
I would like to plead with the general public to stop filming such hideous acts and circulating on social media. Society should be bold enough to come to the aid of people under such circumstances rather than watching and fi ...

Nonsense!!!!! The cover up has started. Who starts jogging at 8 am , Monday morning? We don't even do it at weekends.
Ghana Police Service is a proper noun so please accord it appropriately. @ Ghana Web, we all learn from reading. Thank you.
How could someone who was jogging buy snails? It does not make sense. There are too many stories concerning this murder that do not make sense. Whoever started this story needs to have his or her head examined.
Mr. IGP, the media cannot do much to stop mob actions when under your management the State Attorney sets free others who commit similar crimes because they are illegal armed wing of the ruling Government in the name of Delta ...
