The three South African ex-police officers arrested for engaging in acts deemed as  a national security threat have been granted bail by an Accra Circuit court.  The suspects who were arraigned alongside Captain Koda, the head of security for the NPP flag bearer Nana Akuffo Addo and  Captain Kwesi Acquah (retd), who is also the owner of Delta Force Security Company Limited the security firm which brought them into the country were charged with unlawful training and false declaration, something they pleaded not guilty to. The bail to the tune of twenty thousand cedis each with one surety was granted by the court despite the state asking for more time to investigate the matter.
 
The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) is accusing the Mahama-led administration of deliberately exposing the party's 2016 presidential candidate, Nana Akufo-Addo to danger. Acting Chairman of the NPP, Freddie Blay made this known on the back of allegations by the National Democratic Congress that the three former South African police officers arrested for allegedly training the NPP's security on weapon handling among others were mercenaries. Addressing a press conference, the acting chairman of the party, Freddie Blay said the arguments by the NDC are baseless.

Suspended NPP Chairman Paul Afoko may be cited for contempt if he does not desist from speaking to the press on his case pending in court. The caution is from lawyers for the NPP who are first defendants in the case where Afoko is challenging his suspension. He was suspended last year by the National Council of the NPP after he was accused of misconduct. The NPP’s legal representation Godfred Dame sought a court order this morning to compel Mr. Afoko to cease all media comments until the final determination of the case.
