Each of the 13 is to execute a bail bond of GHS10,000 with two sureties each to be justified.
They are also to submit photocopies of their valid ID cards and report to the Criminal Investigations Department of the Ghana Police Service each week.

Some members of Delta Force, a vigilante group associated with the governing New Patriotic Party, besieged the Kumasi Circuit Court and freed the 13 members who were facing charges for attacking the Ashanti Regional Security Coordinator.
Reports suggest that the group nearly assaulted the Judge, Mary Senkyire and also destroyed some court properties.
Thirteen (13) members of the group were detained after the group assaulted the newly appointed Ashanti Regional Security Coordinator, George Adjei.
Reports say only two police officers were on duty at the court at the time, with one of them being pregnant.

However, they managed to get the judge Mary Nsenkyire to safety, while Delta Force members vandalised property at the court.
Eight of those who aided in the escape were subsequently arrested by the police.
