A Kumasi Circuit Court in the Ashanti Region has adjourned to August 8, 2017 the case involving thirteen (13) members of pro- New Patriotic Party (NPP) vigilante group, Delta Force.<\/p>\n

A representative for the prosecutor in the case, C\/Inspt, Hannah Acheampong, pleaded with the court presided over by Her Honor Mary Nsenkyire for an adjournment because the prosecutor, ACP Okyere Darko, was on leave.<\/p>\n

The court at a previous hearing had adjourned the case to today, July 13 because the Attorney General advised that they conduct further investigations into the case.<\/p>\n

Background<\/strong><\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”mezauB65CcFnJ86yCbPBInDS1J4nsFRz”]The 13 were arrested after they stormed the office of the Ashanti Regional Security Coordinator and allegedly assaulted him in the process.<\/p>\n

They subsequently escaped<\/strong><\/a><\/span> from a Kumasi Circuit Court\u2019s custody after some of their members sparked confusion when they were arraigned and charged with conspiracy to assault a public officer and causing unlawful damage.<\/p>\n

The 13 suspects have already been fined GHc 2,400<\/strong><\/a><\/span> each, and have been made to sign a bond of good behaviour for escaping lawful custody.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the fellow group members who aided their escape from court custody had the case against them controversially dropped.<\/p>\n

Initial reports indicated that, the Attorney General directed that the case be dropped with a Principal State Attorney, ACP Okyere Darko, saying that Gloria Akuffo had instructed the Police to stop pursuing the matter because they had insufficient evidence against the accused persons.<\/p>\n

But the government denied that it sanctioned a decision to drop the charges.<\/p>\n

The Ministry of Information in a statement said that the Principal State Attorney in the case did not consult the Attorney General before dropping the charges against the accused.<\/p>\n
