It is Day 3 of the Democracy Hub protest, which commenced last Saturday, and reports indicate that its convener, Oliver Barker-Vormawor, is nowhere to be found, leaving fellow demonstrators stranded during their protest in Accra.
This development follows the Ghana Police Service’s intensified efforts to apprehend him for alleged unlawful activities during the early stages of the demonstration.
However, Barker-Vormawor has rejected claims by the police that he is in hiding and has been declared wanted. Describing the allegations as “baseless and misleading,” he clarified that he has been in regular communication with senior police officers regarding his whereabouts and availability.
The protest, which saw demonstrators blocking roads and disrupting traffic, led to the arrest of about 42 individuals by the police. Barker-Vormawor’s absence has reportedly left many protesters confused and frustrated, as they expected him to lead them through the process.
Meanwhile, the Democracy Hub protesters, now without their leader, are facing mounting pressure as law enforcement continues to crack down on their activities.
