Police say they will incorporate Thursday’s law-defying act by vigilante group Delta Force into syllabi of its training schools as a case study. This is to make sure it does not happen again as enormous lessons have been learnt from the incident.

Though eight persons were arrested and a bench warrant issued subsequently…

The Ghana Bar Association (GBA) has expressed shock at Thursday’s show of bravado by vigilante group Delta Force at the KMA Circuit Court.

The Ashanti Regional Police Command has issued a bench warrant for 13 members of vigilante group Delta Force who were set free from a Kumasi Circuit Court on Thursday. The 13 were standing trial for assaulting the newly appointed Ashanti Regional Security Coordinator, George Adjei, on Friday, March 24, 2017. But on Thursday when they were remanded in prison custody, other members of the New Patriotic Party-affiliated vigilante group who had apparently come to the court in solidarity with their arrested colleagues defied the judge’s orders and asked the accused to follow them home. They used “the back door” which…

The Ashanti Regional branch of the Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) has called on the police administration to beef up security at the various courts. JUSAG says such measure will prevent litigants from attacking or disrupting court proceedings as it occurred on Thursday at the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) Court. Members of a vigilante group affiliated to the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Delta Force, stormed the KMA Circuit Court and freed members who were facing charges for causing disturbances at the Ashanti Regional Coordinating Council. The group allegedly vandalized some court properties and almost assaulted the presiding judge,…

Among the members of the board are Solomon Asamoah, who is the Chief Executive Officer of GIIF, Tweneboah Kodua Fokuo, Yvonne Sowah, Kofi Boakye and Cecilia Gambrah.…
