Major Mahama ‘killers’ hold bibles, sing praises to court

Several people who had thronged the Accra Central Magistrate Court Thursday to witness proceeding in the case in which 19 persons are being tried for their involvement in the murder of Major Maxwell Mahama, were stunned when they saw the suspects appearing in court each holding Bibles.

According to Kasapa FM’s Court Correspondent, Daakyehene Ofosu Agyeman, all the suspects sung praises as they arrived at the court premises and while disembarking the vehicle that conveyed them.

He further reports that the suspects who appeared to have repented from their sins and turned on a new leaf also prayed in the van before they alighted.

“There was drama in court today as we witnessed a rare spectacle. All the 19 suspects bowed their head and prayed as soon as they sat down in the court room. People who had gathered in court were very surprised at the conduct of the suspects as this behaviour has not been seen since hearing began,” Daakyehene said.

The Court adjourned the case to September 25 awaiting the Attorney General advice.

Background
