Captain Adam Mahama is reported to have met his untimely death when he was out for his early morning jogging.<\/p>\n

There are reports that some military personnel are holding at least 90 of the\u00a0residents whom they suspect of playing a role in the heinous crime. They are demanding the gun of the deceased to be given to them, Upper Denkyira East DCE, Daniel Appianing is quoted as saying.<\/p>\n
