How to Honor His Memory


​The shocking death of Major Mahama has impacted people far beyond his family and those of us lucky to have known him for all too brief a time. Many have expressed a desire to support his family left behind, particularly his wife and two boys. Major Mahama was passionate about his family and the future of both his wife and his children and so we as a nation commit to ensuring the boys have every opportunity in furthering their education. In the wake of this tragedy, many people have flocked to offer support and such a number of accounts have been opened. All of the below have been cross referenced with the family and approved.

  2. Take a stand against the horror of mob violence. This despicable act that occurred and has robbed a family of their husband, their father, their son is not an isolated act in this country, or indeed the world at large. The circumstances that lead to such horrific violence are deeply complex but as individuals we all must take responsibility to stand against horror and promote peace, in ourselves and those around us. Please pledge to never be involved in mob violence and to speak out if it should breakout around you.
