Oliver Barker-Vormawor finally on bail
YEN.com.gh reported that Oliver Barker-Vormawor has finally been granted bail to the tune of GH¢20,000 with two sureties on Wednesday, October 16, 2024, after spending more than 20 days behind bars.
The convener of Democracy Hub’s anti-galamsey protest had been denied bail three times following his involvement in the anti-galamsey protests that occurred at the 37 roundabout in Accra.
The Accra Circuit Court and the Accra High Court had argued that Barker-Vormawor was already on bail for a treason felony charge when he was arrested for misconducting himself during the anti-galamsey protests and thus cannot be released on bail again.
Following his bail grant, the court directed that he report to the police twice a week.
