A wave of controversy has hit Ghana's political scene following the arrest of Francis Asante, the self-proclaimed Ashanti Regional Chairman of the Delta Force, a vigilante group linked to the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP). Former officials and party members have criticized the government and police for what they describe as arbitrary detention and alleged mistreatment, including claims that Asante was held without food.
The incident has reignited debate over the NPP's handling of vigilante groups, with some party leaders admitting internal disagreements about disbanding such groups. Critics warn that the party could face further unrest and attacks if it continues to neglect these factions.
The situation highlights ongoing tensions within the NPP and raises concerns about political violence and the rule of law in Ghana.
