Oliver Barker Has Been Arrested On His Way To Court

The lead convener of the #FixTheCountry Movement, Oliver Barker-Vormawor, has been arrested again.

Barker-Vormawor was picked up by security personnel today, Tuesday, May 17, 2022 while on his way to court.

The reason for his arrest remains unknown and his whereabouts are unknown.

A member of the #FixTheCountry movement Benjamin Darko confirmed his arrest on Accra-based Class FM.

Recall that on February 10, Mr. Barker-Vormawor took to social media to threaten a coup following pictures emerging from the Majority Leader’s 65th birthday bash showing an ‘E-levy’-designed cake.

He posted, “If this E-Levy passes after this cake bullsh#t, I will do the coup myself. Useless Army!”

In a subsequent post, he explained the context in which he used the word coup.

Barker-Vormawor was given GH¢2 million bail with two sureties, one of whom is to deposit documents of his landed property to the court.

He was charged by the Ashaiman District Court on Monday, February 14, 2022, and remanded into police custody till Monday, February 28, 2022.

Following his release, Mr. Barker-Vormawor, in a YouTube address, alleged that he was tortured while in the custody of the police.

In response, the Deputy Attorney General and Minister for Justice committed to investigating the claims.

Alfred Tuah Yeboah charged the activist should provide details of his alleged torture.
