Government has approved the naming of the roundabout near the plush Airport Hills Estate in Accra, after slain military officer, Major Maxwell Adam Mahama.

A statue is expected to be unveiled at the roundabout tomorrow (May 29), exactly two years after his gruesome murder.

The young Captain who was with the 5th Infantry Battalion died in the line of duty, at Denkyira Obuasi now New Obuasi in the Central Region in 2017.

Major Mahama was Commander of about 100 officers who were sent to the Denkyira Obuasi township to assist the government in the fight against illegal mining.

He was allegedly stoned to death and burnt by the youth of the area who mistook him for an armed robber.
