Ghana is slowly becoming a haven for anarchy in every format under President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, former National Security Advisor, Brigadier-General Nunoo Mensah (rtd) has warned.
Nunoo Mensah’s warning comes on the back of the forceful removal of the Ashanti Regional Security Coordinator, DCOP Ayensu Opare Addo (rtd) by members of the dreaded Delta Force—a vigilante group affiliated to the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP).
“We have been doing this for the past four to five years…it’s not the first time in Kumasi where a coordinator was removed in a similar fashion,” he stated on Starr FM’s Morning Starr and monitored by YEN.com.gh on Tuesday, May 18, 2021.
“There must be an end to this because if we don’t stop it, we’re moving into a state of anarchy…With what I’m seeing today, it’s like going back to the past. If we don’t deal with them and pull out, we’re heading into political anarchy,” he added.
“The president must see to it that there’s order and security in the country. Ghana is sliding slowly but surely into anarchy,” he stressed.
DCOP Ayensu Opare Addo (rtd) was forcefully removed from office as the Ashanti Regional Security Coordinator by some members of the disbanded vigilante group affiliated to the ruling government—the New Patriotic Party (NPP)—the Delta Force.
Handcuffed like a common criminal, the former Ashanti Regional Police Commander was dragged out of office by the thugs in deviance of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s directive for DCOP Opare Addo to continue.
The thugs claimed they were officials of the embattled National Security.
A week after his traumatic ordeal, DCOP Opare Addo is yet to be communicated to about any investigations and possible prosecution in the matter.
Delta Force dominated the news in 2017 after the group stormed the Ashanti Regional Coordinating Council to physically drag out a Security Liaison appointed by President Nana Akufo-Addo.
