Oliver Barker-Vormawor reportedly arrested again

-

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

Felicity Nelson, one of the group’s conveners, told Joy News that he was picked up on Tuesday morning by Police officers while on his way to the court.

On the Movement’s Facebook page, a post read: “Oliver arrested again. Police officer told him his rights are curtailed as soon as he was arrested. We are not safe.”

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 bullshit, I will do the coup myself. Useless Army!”

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

He was arrested on February 11 at the Kotoka International Airport, upon arriving from the United Kingdom.

On March 16, Mr Barker-Vormawor was granted a ¢2 million bail and two sureties.

Following his release, Mr Barker-Vormawor in a YouTube address alleged that he was tortured while in the custody of the police – an allegation government has vehemently denied.

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

He also challenged the activist to provide details of his alleged torture.
