8 Delta Force members in court amidst tight security

The eight Delta Force members arrested for raiding a Kumasi Circuit Court to free 13 of their members are to be arraigned in court Monday morning amidst tight security.

They are to be charged for disturbing a court session, resisting arrest and rescuing persons in lawful custody.

According to Graphic Online's Kumasi reporter, Donald Ato Dapatem, there is a heavy presence of armed police personnel at the Kumasi Circuit Court Two where the suspects are to be arraigned.

Dapatem reported that the suspects were brought to the court in handcuffs and aside the uniformed police personnel from the SWAT team in Accra, there are a number of others in mufti wielding AK 47 assault rifles.

He said unlike the previous court hearing last Thursday, where there were a number of supporters at the court, this time around there are no supporters of the group around.
