In a statement, the NDC said he made it clear in a TV panel discussion that he was behind the vigilante group, and that he dared the state to prosecute them and bear the brunt of the wrath of himself and the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has called for the arrest of Kennedy Agyapong, MP for Assin Central, accusing him of being behind the attack on the Kumasi Circuit Court by members of the Delta Force.

“As matter of urgency; and to show a strong commitment to the fight against terror and terrorism, the NDC is calling on the Ghana Police to immediately effect the arrest of Hon. Kennedy Agyapong who in the full glare of public television, made it abundantly clear that he is the master brain behind the lawless acts of the Delta Forces, and also went ahead to dare the State to prosecute these militants, and bear the brunt of the wrath of himself and the NPP,” the statement said.

The statement, signed by the party’s general secretary, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, also called for the dismissal of the Interior Minister, the Minister for National Security, the Inspector General of Police and the National Security Coordinator.

According to the party, they have “shown complete failure in dealing with this matter.”

The NDC has also given the president seven days to ensure the trial of those who attacked the court or face mass action via peaceful and lawful means.
