President Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo-Addo has pledged to make the laws of the country work under his government.
His remark follows the dreadful attack on one Mr. George Agyei, the Ashanti Regional Security Coordinator last week by one of the party’s security arm, Delta Force.
They claimed they couldn’t work with Mr. Agyei because he is not a native of the Ashanti Region. It took the timely intervention of the police to save the situation and restore law and order.
The angry men had earlier destroyed some office equipment in their bid to drive out Mr Agyei.
Their action was roundly condemned by a large section of the public who called for their arrest. Less than 24 hours after the act, the leader of the group Kwadwo Bamba was arrested by the Police.
Other members were subsequently arrested and charged for the offence of conspiracy to assault and assaulting a public officer and causing unlawful damage.
President Akufo-Addo has thus condemned the rampage and attacks by the Delta Force affiliated with the New Patriotic Party (NPP), and pledged a healthy regard for rule of law and civility under his government.
“My government will not allow anybody to abuse the laws of this country, I will make the law of this country work under my government” he said.
Nana Addo made this remark when he called on the Asantehene Otumfour Osei Tutu in his palace as part of his three-day tour in the region.
The President is expected to address a rally of party faithfuls on Sunday, on his final leg of the tour, before returning to Accra.
