"We did all the works and assured ourselves that De Eye group was not a Vigilante Group (truest form and interpretation), Militia, or criminal organization."
Following the broadcast of the documentary by Manasseh Azure Awuni, that the group, was a pro-NPP militia which had been operating illegally at the Christiansborg Castle, Osu, since the party won power in the December 2016 polls, there had been a public debate as to whether the group was a militia as described in the documentary.
But Mr Bryan Acheampong said the security apparatus never saw the need to classify the job recruitment operations of De-Eye group as a threat to the state.
