Felix Kwakye Ofosu, a former Deputy Minister of Communications, has criticised government for discontinuing the case against eight members of the Delta Force who stormed a court and freed their colleagues standing trial.
A Kumasi Circuit Court struck out the case against the eight persons who aided the escape of the 13 Delta Force members arrested for assaulting the security coordinator of the Ashanti Region.
The court, presided over by Her Honour Patricia Amponsah, discontinued the case on Wednesday, May 17, because the prosecution lacked evidence against the accused.
The eight were charged with causing disturbances in court, resisting arrest, and rescuing persons in lawful custody.
According to the prosecutor, ACP Okyere Darko, the police did not have enough evidence to support the charges levelled against the accused persons.
However, Mr Ofosu does not understand why such “injustice” has occurred during the tenure of a President who is a lawyer.
Mr Ofosu, in a Facebook post, wrote: “History will record that when three National Democratic Congress (NDC) activists sat on radio and verbally abused esteemed judges in a reprehensible manner, they received a most severe punishment – four months’ imprisonment and heavy fines.”
He was of the view that “history will yet record also that when militants of the NPP violently stormed a court, freed suspects on trial and threatened the presiding judge with assault, they did not receive even a slap on their wrists, they were in fact set free”.
For him, “History may well mock those who expected that an NPP government, led by the paragon of the rule of law, will take firm action against criminal elements who were recruited by the NPP to foment violence as part of the push for power.
“It will be said that never was selectivity, impunity and injustice so frontally endorsed.”

No .What constitutes injustice and impunity is when little rats like you who have never done an honest day's work own mansions, cars, and filling stations whiles our hard working soldiers ,teachers,doctors ,farmers and other honest Ghanaians have nothing to show for years of hard dedicated service to their country.You know what if I had my way all these wretched th13ves together with their master John Mahama would be shot one hot afternoon. These people are the cause for all our woes.They have no shame and no remorse for the great harm they have done to this country.
Look at his nose and face as if he has smelt something odorous. Ndc is still in the lead.
Impunity in the highest place. This raaaat has the effrontery to comment on the Delta force release? God help us
finally and factually the hypocricy and dshonesty of this guy OFOSU KWAKYE is CERTIFIED AND AWARDED THE DEGREE...WATCH OUT FOR GRADUATION SOON
Ei, Kwakye Ofosu has suddenly resurrected from his coma. He should just not comment because his party were not better that was why they lost successfully including he and his colleagues utterances and disrespectful posture.
It's incredibly ridiculous that this pathological liar wants to insult our intelligence by trying to rewrite history. Must these NDC guys say something when there is really nothing to say! Their selective amnesia is abhorring and most repugnant. Have they forgotten so soon how they let the irresponsible Montie 3 go scot free after they'd been imprisoned by a court of competent jurisdiction? What moral right do they have to cry foul in this matter even though I personally think that the 8 guys should have been penned to serve as a warning and detterent to others. Hypocrisy and double standards of the highest order.
History will record your rot! you don't have the moral right to talk about this issue.When ghanaians cried not to release the montie 3 what did your government do?Make us rest oooo
This one di333 npp no force... They should have at least jailed them for a month to show that nana addo's govt doesn't tolerate lawlessness....i am disappointed.... But ndc need to shût up. They don't have moral right to speak
This silly ***barred word*** again.
This Felix guy is one of the babies with sharp teeth...... Where have you been hiding? You guys messed up our country big time. I believe you are now enjoying your l00t.
