Emmanuel Bamford, uncle of the late Major Maxwell Mahama, has appealed to the state to name the Tema roundabout after the lynched soldier, as a way of honouring him.
He told Joy News’ Latif Iddris during the vigil for the late military man on Thursday June 8: “I have spoken to the elders of the family and everybody agrees with it.”
Mahama was lynched by irate youth of Denkyira Obuasi on suspicion that he was an armed robber, after a snail seller informed the assemblyman of the area that the soldier was an armed robber, having seen the sidearm of the now deceased officer as he took money from his pocket to pay for snails he had bought from her.
About 42 suspects have been arraigned before court over the incident.
Major Mahama was buried on Friday June 9 at the Military cemetery in Accra.

Infact the govt has done enough for your nation..There is too much hypocrisy in Ghana why? Do u know how many poor innocent soldiers who have died?And they weren't even given a state burial..Enough is Enough..Do u think if it was to be a poor soldier or any other person he would have been treated soo? the soldiers who even toiled with their blood to gain independence are not even remembered how much this one..What at all has he achieve for this nation..Am beginning to get annoyed over this.. I blame the media for all this hype.. When its poor mans turn they should make sure they treat him or her same.. We all watching very carefully..
WHAT ABOUT THE ARMY GENERALS) THAT IDIO--TTTTT ,CORRUPTTT-T ,JEALOUS EWE/AYIEBE BAS--STARD (JJ RAWLINGS) EXECUTED.ONE TANII DEAD SO WHAT.HE IS NOT THE ONLY DEAD SOLDIER IN GHANA.WHY WAS HE CARRYING PISTOL WITH HIM.
Am short of words ... Is he the only person lynched in the history of Ghana..Ohiani as3m y3moboh..
how many ghanaians have we not seen our soldiers and police officers killing and the state don't even punish them for that! our soldiers have been brain washed by our corrupt politicians that the very people they are made to protect are their enemies and to me, that was the hate the villagers exhibited on the soldier if indeed the story that the soldiers were there protecting illgal chinese miners is true. nobody is happy about major Max's death but asking for tons of things from the state only attracts enemies to him. allow ur son to rest in peace. being given the major title is huge too.
EII AGAIN, WHAT KIND OF FAMILY IS THIS? MAHAMA ASK OF A HOUSE WHICH DOES NOT BELONG TO HIM, NOW YOU ARE ASKING FOR ROUND ABOUT THEN LETS CHANGE THE NAME OF GHANA AND CALL IT MAHAMA THAT WILL BE GOOD FOR YOU. ADEN ABUSUA BEN NE ..
Looks like the family have forgotten hypocritical Ghanaians... They will heap praises on you today and push you in a ditch the next day. Please don't request for anything, just appreciate what Ghana his done for you people.
Give a man an inch and he will take a yard.Greedy request.Has the family thought of those who suffered for Ghana and they are not honoured like what they have done for Major Mahama.Adufodepe!
Aaaabah!.....Like seriously? Nooooo....Enough!!
What kind of ***barred word*** is this? Last year the Corporate Relations manager of Obuasi killed fighting against galamsey (ask Kwame Sefa Kayi). Who gave him a state burial? Who set up a fund for his children?? Who named even a borla truck after him?? Infact many security service persons have died doing more heroic deeds for Ghana and no one heard their names.Is it because he belongs to the ***barred word*** Mahama family? Imagine we have no statutes and memorials built or even named after real heroes like Paa Grant,Sargeant Adjetey and Nii Kwabena Bonney. What koraa has this small boy done Ghana?? or is it because he died in such a cowardly fashion that his people want turn him into a hero by force??? Absolute trash................
What is wrong with people? Give them an inch and they'd want a metre! After all that Ghana (collectively) has done for your family? Please don't allow people to drag the name of your noble family in the mud. I'm struggling to be charitable....
