An official statement from the Ghana Police Service said that Oliver Barker-Vormawor, the head of the Democracy Hub organization, had been taken into custody by the police.
Barker-Vormawor was the target of a previous manhunt by the police after they suspected him of committing a number of crimes during a demonstration that blocked the route leading to the 37 Military Hospital in Accra.
In a now-viral video, he was seen starting a police van’s engine, removing the keys from the ignition, and driving off with them.
A number of Democracy Hub protestors who had previously committed acts of lawlessness, such as delaying traffic at the 37 crossroads, blocking the road, and pushing over police crash barriers, had also been arrested by the police.
“The demonstrators who had unlawfully assembled at the 37 Intersection were seen attacking Police officers performing their lawful duties, entering a police vehicle to remove the ignition key and throwing it away, pushing down Police crash barriers, obstructing traffic, causing unlawful damage, and disturbing the peace among others”, the police narrated in a statement.
