Dancehall artiste Shatta Wale has released a tribute song in memory of Capt. Maxwell Mahama of the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) who was lynched by residents of Denkyira-Obuasi.<\/p>\n

He was lynched on Monday after some youth of the town allegedly mistook him for an armed robber because he was carrying\u00a0a firearm.<\/p>\n

The Captain had been posted to the area about three weeks ago to relieve the Commander of the military personnel who were guarding a local mining company. The Platoon Commander had come to Accra to sit for an examination.<\/p>\n

So far, five persons, according to the military, highly connected to the killing of Capt Maxwell Mahama have been arrested.<\/p>\n

The lynching has received widespread condemnation from Ghanaians and dancehall artiste, Shatta Wale is the latest to add\u00a0his voice to calls for justice for the fallen\u00a0soldier.<\/p>\n

He described the act as unfortunate and said God won\u2019t forgive the perpetrators.<\/p>\n

Shatta Wale, born Charles Nii Armah Jnr, called for an end to mob\u00a0justice in the country.<\/p>\n
