Deal ‘severely’ with Delta Force – Major Derek Oduro
Major Derek Oduro, Deputy Minister-designate of
Defence, has said the law must deal with members
of the Delta Force, a private security arm within
the New Patriotic Party, for allegedly attacking a
Circuit Court in Kumasi.

According to him, the attack on the court was
shameful and an embarrassment to the government,
therefore must be condemned.

His comments come after 13 members of the Delta
Force escaped from police custody with the help of
fellow Delta Force colleagues who had thronged a
criminal hearing at a Kumasi Circuit Court.

The 13, who were remanded into prison custody and
billed to reappear on 20 April, were whisked away
through the backdoor of the judge’s chamber by
their supporters.

Commenting on this matter in an interview with
Chief Jerry Forson, host of Ghana Yensom on Accra
100.5FM, Major Oduro said: “NPP really worked
hard in opposition to win the elections and now
that the government is really taking shape and
delivering on its promises to Ghanaians, some
party members are eroding the gains.

“This action by the Delta Force is very bad and
shameful and so we must not condone it. The law
must deal with these people. President Nana Addo
Dankwa Akufo-Addo told the IGP that crime has no
political colour, so he should work for Ghana, not
do any political party’s bidding.”
