William Baah, the Denkyira-Obuasi assemblyman who, according to legend, mobilised a crowd of the town’s residents to lynch the late Major Mahama, has vehemently denied the charge in court.
According to his lawyer, George Bernard Shaw, both the police and the public have the wrong facts on the case.
A snail seller in Denkyira-Obuasi whom the late Capt Mahama bought snails from on the day of his faithful demise, started the chain of events which eventually led to the brutal lynching of the military officer.
The police CID, at a press conference in Accra held earlier today (Friday), recounted what their preliminary investigation has been able to establish so far about the events leading up to the death of Capt Mahama.
The assemblyman who allegedly masterminded the lynching of Capt Mahama in Denkyira-Obuasi is on the run, contrary to social media reports that he had been captured.
Identified as William Baah, authorities say he and two women who were also kingpins in the killing of the soldier are on the run.
