The Leadership and entire membership of the Dynamic Youth Movement of Ghana (DYMOG) condemns in the most vehement terms the reckless attack on the Judicial Arm of Government by the Delta Force Vigilante group on 6th April,2017 at the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) Circuit Court presided over by Her Lordship Mary Senkyere.

The incessant attacks on people and ravaging of properties by these groups with impunity has reached the crescendo which is very alarming. With the resent attack on the Judiciary by the Delta Force on 6th April 2017, we believe that our most valuable resource as a Nation which is Peace is vulnerable.

This tumor of lawlessness, if allowed to balloon, will become an incurable threat to the Priceless Peace and Security we are privileged to have as a Nation. DYMOG firmly underscores the fact that an attack be it verbal or physical on the Judicial Arm of Government is the most powerful facilitator of breakdown of law and order and subsequently of Peace and security of our Nation.

As a civil society organization that is development conscious, we believe that Peace is the most important ingredient that is needed always to bring about Economic, Social, Cultural, Political and Spiritual progress of any Nation. On this premise, a threat to the rule of law is a recipe for under development thus no individual or group should be allowed to tear down this invaluable resource.

By this Statement we are appealing to the President, His Excellency Nana Akufo-Addo to prioritize this menace and dissolve these lawless groups as a matter of fierce urgency.

The President, as Commander- in -Chief of the Ghana Armed forces has the ultimate responsibility to protect the sanctity and territorial integrity of this great Nation. We appeal to him to take charge and ensure that these lawless members of the Delta force are brought to book.

DYMOG also calls on the Ghana Police Service to man up in bringing this menace of misplaced bravado and hooliganism by vigilante groups to an end. It behooves on the Police to ensure orderliness at all times. We specially also entreat the Police to charge the apprehended members of the Delta Force for Criminal Contempt of Court to serve as a deterrent to others.

Lastly, we call on all Ghanaians and opinion leaders to rise up and speak against this incessant lawlessness.

Ghana is our beloved Nation and it is our shared responsibility as Ghanaians to speak against issues that posit to threaten our Peace, Security and Progress as a Nation.
