The council said: “Attacking and killing someone on a mere suspicion makes our society unsafe, and expose each one of us to grave risk. The House wishes to express its condolences to the family of Captain Maxwell Adam Mahama, especially his wife, children and parents”.
The death of Captain Maxwell Mahama has left Ghana in a state of shock .
