The judge at the Kumasi Circuit\u00a0Court presiding over the case of the 13 members of the pro-New Patriotic Party vigilante group, Delta Force, Mary Nsenkyire, has expressed dissatisfaction with the prosecution’s delay in the case.<\/p>\n

She made the comment after the prosecutor, ACP Okyere Darko, asked the court for adjournment, stating that they were still awaiting advice from the Attorney General on the case.<\/p>\n

The judge subsequently adjourned the case to October 10, 2017.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”XU1raikVnV8G92iSpdgzeY70rRlLinEG”]Meanwhile, counsel for the accused, Frederick Kankam Boadu, said they may be forced to take other legal actions should there be further delay in the process.<\/p>\n

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

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, whiles the substantive case against them still holds.<\/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
