The convener of the Democracy Hub protest, Oliver Barker-Vormawor, has rejected allegations from the Ghana Police Service that he is in hiding and has been declared wanted.
Describing the claims as "baseless and misleading," Barker-Vormawor clarified that he has maintained regular communication with senior police officers regarding his location and availability.
His response came after the police announced a manhunt for him and others, following the arrest of several Democracy Hub protesters on Sunday, September 22, for alleged acts of lawlessness during their demonstration.
In a statement, the police claimed that Barker-Vormawor was evading arrest, but he firmly denied these accusations through a Facebook post, stating that there had been no attempt to avoid law enforcement.
The activist also criticised the police's narrative, emphasising his continued cooperation with authorities and disputing the need for a manhunt.
"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 posted.
