The vigilante group, affiliated to the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) stormed a meeting ground in October to register their displeasure with their MP, Dr Anthony Akoto Osei, for what they refer to as failed promises.

The leader of Delta Force in the Tafo Pankrono Constituency, Jafar Saeed, also known as ‘O.D.4’, told Luv FM’s Kwasi Debrah the MP has failed to honour a promise made to them prior to the 2016 general elections.

“He met us and told us when we work hard for the party [NPP] to win the election, he will make sure we also enjoy and live comfortably,” Saeed said in the Akan dialect.
