Eight members of the Vigilante group, Delta Force, affiliated to the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) who were freed by Kumasi Circuit Court 2 on May, 17, 2017 have stated that they will not sacrifice themselves for the NPP anymore.

According to them, the party didn’t treat them well in their difficult period and as a result have resloved not to risk their lives working for the NPP.

“Majority of us fell sick after serving our prison sentence, some of us contracted other diseases in prison and had to treat ourselves at our own expense. We want our party to do something for us, the big men know what they should do,” they told Kumasi based Abusua FM’s Osei Kwadwo.

Abass Caesar, Ebenezer Opoku, Samuel Yeboah, Kofi Fosu, Christian Anokye, Kwame Frempong, Eric Kusi and Abdul Suleman Odudu were freed because the prosecution does not have evidence to prove its case of assault on a public officer and three other charges leveled against them.

They attacked the court, intimidated the judge and freed 13 suspects who were at the time standing trial for attacking the Ashanti Regional Security Coordinator.

But the Kumasi Circuit Court 2 on Wednesday struck out the case.

The court presided over by her Honour Patricia Amposah arrived at the decision after the prosecution failed to provide evidence against the accused.

However, the outcome of the case has generated huge public uproar with the Minority NDC condemning the decision.

The Attorney General Gloria Akuffo has ordered investigations into the circumstances under which the Principal State Attorney in Kumasi entered a nolle prosequi and got eight of the suspects discharged for lack of evidence.

According to her she did not order the discontinuation of the case.

A statement released by the Information Minister said “preliminary investigations suggest that decision was taken without recourse even to the Director of Public Prosecution and may amount to breach of internal procedures.”
