Infiltration of state security by vigilante groups worrying—Security analyst May 19, 2021 Professor Kwasi Aning, the Director, Faculty of Academic Affairs at the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre (KAIPTC), is worried how political party affiliated vigilante groups, thought to have been disbanded, have managed to infiltrate the state’s security apparatus. “What this means is that the optimistic, celebratory talk around the disbandment which the National Peace Council led is nothing but a sham and this is the fifth vigilante related incident recorded this year alone,” he bemoaned. Following the attacks of the operatives on Citi FM’s journalist Caleb Kudah and the Ashanti Regional Security Coordinator Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP) (Rtd) Kweku Ayensu Opare-Addo, concerns have been raised on the lawfulness of their modus operandi and the effect of their operations on the citizenry.
