Late Maxwell Mahama who was killed by a mob who mistook him for a robber has been laid to rest at the military section of the Osu Cemetery in Accra, Ghana. Mourners filed past the remains of the late soldier after which his corpse was transported to the military section of Osu Cemetery for burial. The casket of the late major was closed for the filing past apparently due to the brutality meted out to him by the Denkyira Obuasi mob. 

Dignitaries from Ghana graced the event. Former president John Agyekum Kufuor and John Dramani Mahama were among some dignitaries present alongside. The military colleagues of the late Major Mahama saluted as they filed past the remains.

In a tribute by the children of the deceased read at the funeral, they expressed that their father was “irreplaceable”. Read the whole tribute below: "Dear daddy, we were told you travelled. You told us you were going to come back. We spoke by phone almost every day. We told you to come and take us swimming and to play tennis and you said okay." "We have been waiting for that ice cream you promised us. We miss playing with you. We miss the dancing moves with mummy, and the laughter that fills our home when you are around." 

"We miss the Akosombo trip, we miss you coming for us from school and spending time with us before mummy comes. Daddy, we miss going to the Turkish restaurant with you alone to spend “boys boys” time." "We miss you chasing mummy around when she takes your meat from your food, and we miss eating together as a family. We miss you calling us to pray together and we miss you sitting us down to talk to us about life even as young as we are."
