The Director of Elections of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo has asked the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to personally deal with members of pro-New Patriotic Party (NPP) vigilante group, Delta Force, who carried out an attack on Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) Court.
According to him, the actions of the individuals undermined the authority of the Court and that did not auger well for the country’s democracy.
Mr Ofosu-Ampofo’s comments come on the back of recent activities that have created fear and panic in the country, including the attack at the KMA Court by Delta Force members.
“Nana Addo must deal with vigilante groups himself as the Commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, especially the Delta Force members for attacking the Court. I think it poses serious security threat” he said.
Many Ghanaians have criticized members of NPP vigilante group, Delta Force, who stormed the KMA Court on Thursday and succeeded in freeing 13 of its members who were facing charges for causing disturbances at the Ashanti Regional Coordinating Council last month.
The group vandalized some court property and almost assaulted the Judge, Mary Senkyere after she had ruled that, the accused be remanded to reappear before the court on the 20th of April, 2017.
But Mr. Ofosu-Ampofo speaking in an interview on Adom FM’s Morning Show “Dwaso Nsem” Tuesday noted that, though the security apparatus in the country would be able to unravel the truth in the matter, President Akufo-Addo must deal harshly with them to serve as a deterrent to others.
He indicated that the conduct of vigilante groups, Delta Force and Invincible Force has brought the party into disrepute and has taken the shine out of President Akufo-Addo’s 100 days in office.
Meanwhile, vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia made reference to the actions of the Delta Forces vigilante group which attacked a court in Kumasi, saying, the actions were condemnable.

The action of Muntie 3 was the best that is why you paid them a visit at Nsawam prisons. You were among those who opened up a book to request for their release. A hypocrite indeed.
Elder!!! wake up from your sleep .the delta force case is over
H. E. Akufo Addo has dealth with it personally already. Thanks for the suggestion, Mr. Ofosu Ampofo.
“Nana Addo must deal with vigilante groups himself as the Commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces" Braa Sammy Photooo, what do you mean by personally here? I don't think you expect the President to go outside the constitution he has sworn to uphold and defend. Are the law courts not part of the constitutional creations? Or you expect the President to use broken bottles to shave their hair before you believe he is in charge. Please, if you don't have any meaningful contribution to the discussion just say 'pass it on'

Hypocrite,calling himself an elder of Pentecost church.What your boys did when Mills came to power was far worse than this.Now you are out of job but let me remind you, your photo business is still flourishing so you can start taken pictures.Please create a website like ''Braaofosufotoo.com''and you will get customers both far and near. Naaniama.
OK SO NANA ADDO SHOULD GET A WHIP AND LINE THE DELTA FORCES UP ON THE STREET AND LASH THEM ? IS THAT WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR? OR NANA ADDO SHOULD MAKE PEOPLE SIGN DELTA FORCE BOOK TOO SO WE COULD FREE THEM? MASA FIND A GOOD JOB.
