Oliver Barker-Vormawor, a prominent figure in Democracy Hub, has been taken into custody by the Police in connection with disturbances at Accra’s 37 Intersection on September 21-22.
The police released a statement earlier today, Monday, September 23, 2024, confirming the incident.
Authorities have arrested five individuals in connection with the September 22, 2024, protests at 37 Intersection that turned violent.
A police statement revealed that protesters’ attempts to block roads and dismantle barriers led to confrontations, prompting officers to take decisive action.
The ongoing protest, part of a three-day Democracy Hub-organized rally, resulted in arrests and fleeing protesters, as demonstrators demand action on economic mismanagement and national concerns.
Day one of the protests witnessed disturbances at 37 Roundabout, prompting police action.
On day two, Oliver Barker-Vormawor was observed removing and discarding the key to a police towing vehicle.
To maintain order, police brought in a tow truck, but Oliver Barker-Vormawor disrupted the effort, switching off the engine, removing the key, and tossing it.
