Work hard to regain image of Denkyira-Obuasi - Archbishop advises residents

The Metropolitan Archbishop of the Catholic Archdiocese of Cape Coast, His Grace, Most Rev. Mathias K. Nketsia visited the people of Denkyira Obuasi and celebrated Mass with them.

The Archbishop in his sermon encouraged the people to foster unity in the town and also asked them to work hard to regain the image of the town and its people.

The inhabitants of Denkyira Obuasi have suffered an intense backlash from Ghana both home and abroad following the lynching of Major Maxwell Adam Mahama.

On May 29, then Army Captain with the 5th Battalion Infantry was attacked and lynched by the residents of Denkyira Obuasi who said they mistook him for an armed robber.

When news emerged that they had killed an army officer, a lot of Ghanaians were enraged after a video emerged on how Major Mahama was killed.
So far, over 30 suspects have been arrested and are facing trial for their involvement.

But the Most Rev. Mathias K. Nketsia explained that the Catholic Church had to take that step to help the community go through this difficult period.
He said it is part of a healing process for the community and people should not shun them.
