About 130 persons were rounded up in a swoop by a reinforced military detachment to the area on Tuesday, May 30, 2017, out of which 50 were screened and handed over to the police.

“The police are currently holding five persons who are said to be connected to the circumstances leading to the lynching of Capt. Maxwell Adam Mahama, whom they claimed they mistook for an armed robber,” the Regional Minister, Kwamena Duncan, said

Addressing the media yesterday, the minister said the security forces were gradually narrowing down on all the persons who were involved in the atrocious act.

According to him, people were still afraid to return because of the heavy security presence.

The town, he noted, was completely deserted as hundreds of residents have fled their homes for fear of being arrested.
