The 13 members of the Delta Force who escaped from a Kumasi Circuit Court Thursday after attacking the law court have reported themselves to the Police.
Chairman of group, Salu Mohammed who confirmed the news on Adom FM’s Morning Show “Dwaso Nsem” Friday said the members are currently in police custody.
“My people have reported themselves to the police and are currently on remand,” he said.
Some members of the group stormed the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) Circuit Court to free 13 of their colleagues who had been arraigned for forcibly throwing the Ashanti Regional Security Coordinator out of office last month.
They ‘invaded’ the court shortly after the presiding judge, Mrs Mary Nsenkyire, had remanded the 13 into prison custody to reappear on April 20, 2017.
Immediately word went out that the 13 had been remanded, some supporters of the accused who were outside the courtroom attempted to find their way into the courtroom but they were prevented from doing so by the police.
In the ensuing melee, the 13 who had been remanded left the courtroom, joined those outside to leave the court premises, claiming that they were going to the NPP Ashanti Regional headquarters.
However, Salu Mohammed believes members who stormed the court premises were families of the accused and not members of Delta Force.
This notwithstanding, he maintained that if the arrested members are found culpable, they will be dealt with drastically.
“I can assure you that those who attacked the court were members of the arrested members and not Delta Force but when it is proven that they indeed attacked the court, then we will personally deal with them,” he noted.
