The two Delta Force members who were arrested by the police in connection with disturbances at the Tafo-Pankrono Constituency have been remanded into police custody by a Kumasi Circuit court.
Delta Force members chase out the Member of Parliament for the Area, Dr. Akoto-Osei and the MCE over failed promises.
The Leadership of the group has since apologized and begged for leniency, which was disregarded by the court on Wednesday, October 10, 2018.
There was heavy police presence at the premises of the Kumasi Circuit Court.
According to the Prosecutor, Phillip Dagbre, the police haven’t concluded investigation into the arrest, and three other members are still on the run.
He said his office prayed the court, presided over by Mrs. Lydia Osei-Marfo, to remand them into police custody, to re-appear before the court on October 24, which was heeded.
Counsel for the accused, William Kusi, disagreed with the decision of the court, saying the case at hand is a misdemeanor besides the suspects are not connected to the case.
The Lawyer insisted that the duo had nothing to do with the disturbances that occurred.
The lawyer, who advised political party supporters not to engage in violent activities, also asked politicians to fulfill promises they make to their supporters.
The Court presided over by Her Honor, Lydia Osei Marfo, remanded the suspects to re-appear in two weeks.
The men are suspected to be part of aggrieved Delta Force members who disrupted a meeting of constituency executives chaired by the Member of Parliament for that constituency, Dr. Anthony Akoto Osei over the weekend.Reports say the group wanted to physically assault the MP who doubles as Monitoring and Evaluation Minister over failed election promises before the 2016 general elections.
The MP, was however assisted to escape unhurt. Three other members of the group are believed to be on the run.
