Protesters have marched in cities across South Africa including Cape Town, Durban, and the capital, Pretoria calling for the removal of President Jacob Zuma. The demonstrations came after Mr Zuma’s sacking of a respected finance minister, which led to the country’s credit rating being cut to junk status. The move added pressure to South Africa’s already embattled economy. But supporters of Mr Zuma also turned out to defend the president. This week Mr Zuma survived calls by powerful groups allied to the governing ANC for him to go. He also got the backing of a major decision-making body within the…

PRESIDENT AKUFFO-ADDO AND NPP MUST TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR TERROR ATTACK BY THE MILITANT LAWLESS “DELTA FORCE” ON KUMASI CIRCUIT COURT.

In a…

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…

READ: Delta Force’s ‘freedom’ action in Kumasi court

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 group, members of which are affiliated with the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), stormed the Court and literally set free some of their members who are standing trial for assaulting a public officer. Their action had been sparked in court by an order by presiding judge Mary Senkyere to remand the 13 on-trial members in prison custody.

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…
