The family of the late Major Maxwell Mahama expressed concern at the slow prosecution of his alleged killers on the day a monument is unveiled in his honor.

"The reason is that there is a video recording of everything that has happened. People's faces are very clear and on the basis of the video recordings that were taken, his cell phone was found with someone, his cell phone was found with someone, his weapon that he was. he was holding was found with someone. "
