Oliver Barker-Vormawor, the convener of the Democracy Hub protest, is reported to have absconded, leaving his fellow demonstrators stranded during their protest in Accra.
This development comes after the police intensified efforts to apprehend him for his alleged involvement in unlawful activities during the demonstration.
The protest, which saw demonstrators blocking roads and disrupting traffic, led to the arrest of several individuals by the police.
Despite the situation escalating, Barker-Vormawor reportedly fled the scene, abandoning those who had gathered in support of the Democracy Hub’s cause.
His sudden disappearance has left many protesters confused and frustrated, as they believed he would lead them through the process.
According to sources close to the protest, Barker-Vormawor had been vocal in organising the demonstrations, encouraging participants to stand firm in their demands.
However, his unexpected flight has raised concerns among the protesters, with some accusing him of neglecting the group when tensions peaked.
The police have since launched a manhunt to locate Barker-Vormawor, calling on the public to assist with any information that may lead to his arrest.
Meanwhile, the Democracy Hub protesters, left leaderless, are facing mounting pressure as law enforcement continues to clamp down on their activities.
