The Ashanti regional chairman of the New Patriotic Party, Bernard Antwi Boasiako popularly called Chairman Wontumi has been summoned to the seat of government over the recent acts of a vigilante group known as Delta Force.

The group which is allegedly formed by Chairman Wontumi has claimed affiliation to the governing NPP.

Over 100 members of the Delta Force vigilante group attacked the offices of the Ashanti regional Security Coordinating Council and threw out the coordinator – George Adjei, indicating that they (the group) do not recognise him and that he was not from the region.

But for the intervention of the police service, they group may have physically harmed the coordinator. The huge condemnation greeted the entire episode with people questioning the locus of the group to undertake such a lawless act. The leader of the group was arrested and granted bail a day after.

He expressed regret over the groups actions and pleaded with the president, Nana Akufo Addo to forgive them over their action adding that it would not happen again. Four other members of the group have been picked up by the police for interrogation and to help with investigations.

Mr. Antwi Boasiako is to answer questions about the activities of the group and why it was formed in the first place.
