The Ghana Bar Association (GBA) says it has noted with disquiet the discharge of Delta Force members by a Kumasi Circuit Court.

In a statement, the GBA said it is disturbed by the turn of events and hopes that the discharge of the said accused persons would not signify and end to the matter.

“It is the view of the GBA that justice will be served if the discharge of the said accused persons ends the matter,” the statement added.

“The GBA further called on the police to thoroughly investigate the matter in its entirety. We call upon the police to interview the court officials, lawyers, and litigants who were in court on the day in order to bring the perpetrators to justice,” it said

It pointed out that, it is a threat to the rule of law if the impression is created that persons who engange in lawless acts can escape the arm of the law
