Delta 2 lawyer expresses displeasure over court decision to remand his clients
The lawyer for two members of the vigilante group, Delta Force, who have been remanded into police custody has expressed disgust about the court’s ruling.
Lawyer William Kusi, in an interview on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen Thursday, explained that the court was not fair to his clients who have been charged with two accounts of damaging plastic chairs worth one thousand Ghana cedis and for rioting to disturb social order.
“The court was not ready to hear me out and I told them it was unlawful; the police ents – Sam Pyne [Audio]only read the facts they had. On the contrary, these two people stated they were not present at the beginning of the incident but only went there after they heard the news and have therefore denied knowledge of the offence.
“They, however, are being treated as independent men who disturbed social order and caused damage,” he stated.
The Kumasi circuit court presided over by Her Honor Lydia Osei Marfo has remanded the duo into police custody.
The two were suspected to be part of the group that disrupted an NPP meeting in Tafo, in the Ashanti Region where Dr Anthony Osei Akoto, the Member of Parliament for the area and the Minister for monitoring and evaluation was meeting some members of his party.
According to the Police Prosecutor Philip Dagbre, the constituency chairman reported the case to the police but the police have not been able to conclude any investigations on the case hence his demand for a remand pending further investigations.
