When Captain Maxwell Adam Mahama was lynched and burnt on Monday [May 29] 2017 at Denkyira-Obuasi in the Central Region, not many could believe the incident, especially with the narrative told by some indigenes about how he was killed.
Several hours later, as pieces of information trickled in and clarity on the matter was provided, many Ghanaians took to social media to express their rage over the incident.
While some called for immediate military retaliatory action on the youth in the area, others demanded that justice is served according to law, and radical changes made by the government to address the gruesome attack which has lingered through various regimes.
Many also stated that, they had had their own share of near-lynching experiences, hence the need to stop what has become known as instant justice.
