Delta Force came into prominence after they allegedly attacked the Ashanti Regional Security Coordinator George Adjei indicating he was not their preference for the post.

They were reported to have assaulted him, threw him out of the office and nearly subjected him to severe beating but for the timely intervention of the police who were at the scene.

George Adjei was appointed by the President for the post but according but the groups claim, they cannot work with him because he is not from the region.

Initially, five suspects were arrested including the 37-year-old auto mechanic Kwadwo Bamba who is the organizer of the group.

Abubakar Sadiq Abdul Hameed, Jamil Issah and Hamza Mohammed later turned themselves to the police on Monday March 27, 2017 after being declared wanted for their roles in the violence at the Ashanti Regional Coordinating Council. But the police managed to arrest Awal Sadat Abubakar and others bringing the number of suspects to 13 and arraigned them before court only for their colleagues to attempt disrupting proceedings.

Subsequently, the police managed to arrest 13 of them and arraigned them before court on various charges for their roles but they stormed the court and freed the suspects.
