The convener of the Democracy Hub protest, Oliver Barker-Vormawor, has denied claims that he is in hiding and has been declared wanted by the police.
Barker-Vormawor labelled the allegations as “baseless and misleading.”
On Sunday, September 22, police said 42 of protesters from the Democracy Hub group have been arrested. A statement released by the police said authorities were on a manhunt for Barker-Vormawor, one of the leaders of the protesters.
However, in a Facebook post on Monday, September 23, he dismissed the police’s manhunt against him, saying he has been in “consistent communication with senior officers within the Police hierarchy regarding my whereabouts and availability.”
He added “In light of these developments, I have instructed my lawyers to urgently engage with the Ghana Police Service to seek clarification on which specific police station or office they wish me to report to. My legal team stands ready to cooperate and will be in touch with the relevant authorities to ascertain the appropriate steps required.
“I remain committed to the rule of law and to addressing any issues raised by the Police in accordance with due process. I expect that this engagement will provide clarity and prevent any further attempts to distort the truth,” he wrote.
