My brother will be remembered forever – Major Mahama’s brother

Michael Mahama, in a conversation with The Finder, said that, “Even though it reminds me of a huge loss, I am happy it serves as a heroic symbol. He will be remembered forever.”
His comments follow the unveiling of a seven-foot bust at the Airport Hills Roundabout of the slain soldier by the Minister of Defence, Dominic Nitiwul, on Wednesday.
Dominic Nitiwul, in his speech, debunked rumours that the late Major had been engaged in galamsey. 
Mr Nitiwul said, “It is a monument, which in the President’s view and that of the Armed Forces and the people of Ghana, should be a reminder that instant justice should be a thing of the past, as stated by the President when he visited the family.”
Interior Minister Ambrose Dery reiterated the President’s call that Major Mahama be the last service person to suffer such a fate in the line of national duty. 
The unveiling of the statue was followed by a wreath-laying ceremony by the parents, wife, children and brother of the late Major. 
Earlier in the day, there had been a Memorial Mass at the Christ the King Parish, followed by a wreath-laying ceremony at the Osu Military Cemetery, where Rev Fr Andrew Campbell admonished the family to take consolation in the words contained in the Book of Wisdom, which assures that, “The souls of the just are in the hand of the Lord and no torment shall touch them.”
The erection of the statue is a fulfilment of a promise made by the President to honour the fallen soldier following the circulation of the gruesome videos and pictures of his death.
