President of Ghana, Nana Akufo Addo has condemned attacks on the Judiciary by pro-New Patriotic Party (NPP) vigilante group, Delta Force in his maiden Easter message to Ghanaians.
In his first Easter message, President Nana Akufo Addo also vowed to ensure the laws of the country are respected and applied without fail under his administration.
“It is for this reason that I regret so much the unfortunate incidence that happened in Kumasi recently. In as much as the law enforcement agencies and the Judiciary have moved to apply the laws of our land, let me reiterate that it will not be under my watch that people act with impunity. Neither will it be under my watch that the laws of our land will not be respected,†he saidÂ
The Delta Force group few days ago stormed the Ashanti regional coordinating council and attacked the security coordinator who was appointed by the President. According to the group, the security coordinator was an alien to them since he was not one of them.
According to the police 13 members of the group were arrested and arraigned before court but some members of the group stormed the court, attacked the judge and freed their colleagues.
 The 13 members of the group were on Tuesday fined 2400 each for escaping from lawful custody and also made to sign a bond to be of good behavior for six months.
In a statement by the President, he said “Crime has no political colour under my government. We are a nation governed by the rule of law and law will work without fear or favourâ€,Â
Meanwhile, in the Easter message, the President also called on Ghanaians to reflect on the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
Easter is the time of the year when Christians remember the Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
