Secretary to the 'De-Eye' Group, Madam Tracy Asamoah has denied reports that the group is a militia group been trained for political activities.
According to her, they are a group of young unemployed Ghanaians who are being trained for various jobs in the country.
Speaking on Okay FM’s 'Ade Akye Abia' programme, she explained that it is not a pro-NPP group who are being trained, but are offered jobs in other institutions as and when there are vacancies.
"Those boys and girls are being trained normally. They can not even handle a gun or any weapon for party activities.
"They are not vigilante groups and that Ghanaians should take note. If this is the kind of the undercover investigative piece Manasseh Azure carried out then I must say it is cheap, this is a cheap work," she stressed.
The group is led by Nana Wireko Addo alias ‘Choman’, the former personal bodyguard of President Nana Akufo-Addo and was described in 2012 as a “vigilante group” in a pro-government newspaper Daily Guide.
One of the leaders of the group, Fraser Owireku Kegya told TV3 in 2018 that the group had a membership of more than 5000 across the country, mainly made up of NPP youth who believed in the policies and governance of President Nana Akufo-Addo.
A Daily Guide report in June 2012 dates the formation of the group as far back as 2009, after the party had lost the 2008 general elections.
The National Security Ministry has attempted to move the group from the Presidency Annex but powerful hands stopped the Ministry.

Manasseh Azure should be arrested for false information. Cheap journalism. He wants to behave like Anas.
My simply question why are they using State property & facility for their trainings & operations????. If it has nothing to do with NPP.
So Manasseh's work on Mahama Ford was good. Anas work on the Judges and No. 12 were good but now their work on NPP Mining corruption and NPP vigilante is are not genuine. Please define what is genuine
shame unto you Manasseh Azure. You want Ghanaians to clap for you for this shoddy work.
Please this is my humble appeal to fellow Ghanaians we should be very careful with some of our Journalists/Media houses who are reckless in spreading fake news which could disturb the peace that all of us enjoy in this country.
There is no single professional journalist in Ghana. The so-called investigative journalists in Ghana are all bunch of clowns with microphone and cameras blackmailing people for money
Yes, I agree with you Madam, this is a very cheap work which should not even be credited to a junior high school student.
