In it, the police revealed while Oliver Barker-Vormawor had been “granted bail by the High Court on Wednesday, 16 October 2024, in the sum of GHS20,000, with two sureties without justification,” the execution of the bail, despite “several attempts by the police,” have been fruitless “due to the inability of the accused person to procure sureties”.

Furthermore, “on 19 October 2024, the police had intelligence that the accused was planning to compromise the security of other inmates and the police station. The police, therefore, decided to transfer him to another cell, but he resisted, after several persuasion.
“In the attempt to handcuff him, he sustained minor scratches on his right hand. He was then taken to the Hospital, where he was treated and discharged,” the statement revealed.
