He, however, denied that he is the founder and bankroller of the group.

Speaking on Starr FM in Accra, he said: "That’s misinformation. I’m not a key member in the formation of the Hawks. [But], I am a member of the Hawks and I associate myself with them".

Yesterday, the NDC issued a disclaimer on Yamin and the group stating their disassociation with them.

The NDC said, "The party wishes to reiterate its unwavering commitment to the process of disbanding all political vigilante or party militia groups in the country."

He said the party should have first listened to the said recordings before taking a decision on him.

“The party in the disclaimer is asking me to come and clarify, which means that from their point it could be true or not true. Tomorrow when I meet the national executives I’m going to put it out there and ask them to show me where in the video I made those comments.

“I should be disappointed in them. If they wanted my side of the story, they would have waited and listened to me first. And that could have influenced the tone of the disclaimer they issued,” he said.
