The angry Delta Force group stormed the premises of the Ashanti Regional Coordinating Council last Friday, demanding the removal of the Regional Security Coordinator.
They destroyed some properties in a bloody attack, and forced the Security Coordinator out of his office. The Security Coordinator was however saved by the timely intervention of the police.
According to the group, they cannot work with the security coordinator, who they claim contributed nothing to the party’s victory.
The organizer of the Delta Force, Kwadwo Fosu Bamba, subsequently apologized to President Nana Akufo-Addo and members of the party for the assault on George Agyei.
“We are begging the President… we are waiting for anything the President will say. We are ready to obey our President. I feel bad about the whole incident and I wish it will not happen again,” he said in a Citi News interview.
