Members of a vigilante group Delta Force, on Thursday, April 6, 2017 besieged the Kumasi Circuit Court and freed its members who were facing charges for attacking the Ashanti Regional Security Coordinator.

The group nearly assaulted the Judge, Mary Senkyire and also destroyed some court properties.

Thirteen (13) members of the group were detained after the group assaulted the newly appointed Ashanti Regional Security Coordinator, George Adjei.

A statement issued and signed by Mr Benson Nustukpui and Mr Justin Amenuvor, President and National Secretary, the GBA said: "It is sickening and horrifying to watch the said videos of persons using violence as a means to defy the Court’s orders."

The GBA "condemns in no uncertain terms this blatant disregard for the orders of a duly constituted court of law and attack on the judge in the discharge of her lawful duties. This is an affront to the independence of the Judiciary and an attack on the rule of law."

Meanwhile, the 13 Delta Force escapees have turned themselves in to the Kumasi Central Police Command.
