The military man who was sent to protect the people of Denkyira Boase against the ills being inflicted on the land by the people was lynched to death by the people of the community.
According to the Majority Speaker who read the tribute on behalf of parliament, the soldier did not die on the battle front nor a stray bullet in peacekeeping neither did he die in his sleep nor ill health but his life was snuffed out of him by men and women of the land.
He said that in these days of sundry carnage death no longer appear to agitate the conscience of men and women but the death of Major Adam Mahama has clearly stunned the entire nation.
Even at the peril of his life, he refused to use his gun to shoot his way out to save his life in self-defense. At that material time, he had the power to conquer death yet he embraced death and that even at the face of death he refused to kill his fellow human beings, He added.
He further added that the way the late Major met his untimely death merits the highest level of condemnation.
“Why did the assailants not believe him? Did they believe him but decided to kill him any way? Did they not know he was a soldier, a captain in the army soon to be major? Did they not see the good in him with pleas in his eyes? Or his voice was not audible enough?" Parliament questioned.
He encouraged his colleagues present to take up the attitude of Adam Mahama but sent his condolence on behalf of parliament to both family and the military.
He finally added that for his death, Parliament has suggested that a befitting monument be erected in hounour of major Mahama and to mark the watershed to end mob injustice in the country.
