On September 17, 2026, Barker-Vormawor took to Facebook to react to a Ghana Police wanted notice bearing the name Barbara Asantewaa Kodua, aged 40, who authorities claim is Ghana Jollof.
According to the poster, the woman was last seen at Accra International Airport on 4th August 2022 and is suspected to be hiding in the United Kingdom, where she is wanted for allegedly inciting violence.
Barker-Vormawor questions police professionalism
In a Facebook post, the activist questioned why Ghanaian authorities chose a public declaration over established legal channels.
"If your investigations have pointed to someone; you have mutual legal assistance arrangements with the UK. Why not use that quietly? Why not pursue cooperation and extradition with UK authorities," he wrote.
He also mocked the notice's phrasing, asking why noting someone was:
"Last seen at Ghana International Airport" was relevant, adding: "Was the person cleaning the airport?"
Barker-Vormawor concluded his post with a pointed remark:
"If you want my last known location, I am in common sense. Come and find me. Shalom."

Ghana Jollof's controversy and the nurse's arrest
Ghana Jollof has attracted significant attention online for her verbal attacks targeting President John Mahama, First Lady Lordina Mahama, and several prominent NDC figures.
She has consistently maintained that her commentary was a response to similar attacks made by Kevin Taylor against NPP leaders and other Ghanaians.
Before the wanted poster was released, police arrested a nurse from Techiman, believed to be close to Ghana Jollof.
The nurse, Salomey Awitty Baffoe, was remanded into prison custody for two weeks following a court appearance at the Adenta Court on September 17, 2026.
Shortly after the wanted notice went public, Ghana Jollof released a video mocking the police and NDC leaders, including President Mahama, the First Lady, and the presiding female judge at the Adenta court.

"I know the woman personally. I called the police not to snitch on her but to ask how much they are paying for information about her, but there was no answer. These jokers are quite amusing; as a victim, I'm sure this is another setup."
