Singer Wiyaala has released the video to her song 'The Captain's Lament' which pays tribute to the late Captain Maxwell Mahama who passed away in 2017.
The young military officer was lynched by a mob in the mining town of Denkyira-Obuasi in Ghana’s Central Region.
The song written for her “distant cousin” was initially featured on Wiyaala’s Sissala Goddess album released in 2018 a year after the captain death.
'The Captain's Lament' talks about the inevitability of death. “Death is not for certain individuals only. When your time is up you will go, there is nothing you can do about it.”
Meanwhile, 14 persons are standing trial at an Accra High Court over the killing of Major Mahama, who was an officer of the 5th Infantry Battalion at Burma Camp.
The accused persons are William Baah, the Assembly member of Denkyira Obuasi, Bernard Asamoah alias Daddy, Kofi Nyame a.k.a Abortion, Akwasi Boah, Kwame Tuffour, Joseph Appiah Kubi, Michael Anim and Bismarck Donkor.
The rest are: John Bosie, Akwasi Baah, Charles Kwaning, Emmanuel Badu, Bismarck Abanga and Kwadwo Anima.
