It has come to light that the National Security establishment has been invaded by members of vigilante group who according to the Ashanti Regional Security Coordinator DCOP Opare Addo undertake all kinds of operations. Speaking in a JoyNews interview, Professor Kwasi Aning said that it is an indication that the conversation about disbanding the group was not backed by actions. He noted that instead of being rendered powerless, the vigilante groups have rather been integrated into the National Security and accorded bestowed unto themselves powers of the state. “What this means is that the optimistic, celebratory talk around the disbandment which the National Peace Council led is nothing but a sham”.
