#FixTheCountry convener, Oliver Barker-Vormawor, has gotten medical care for various health issues, according to his protest group.
In a statement, the group stated he was transported to the Police Hospital on March 9.
“It’s been over three weeks since Oliver has been in police custody. Since his detention, he has been experiencing some minor health challenges.
“In the latter part of this morning March 9, he complained of general discomfort. His health has since deteriorated and has currently been rushed to the Police Hospital in Accra for medical attention. Doctors have since come to assess his health and discovered his blood pressure has shot up.”
Mr. Barker-Vormawor will be remanded until his next court appearance on March 15.
Mr. Barker-Vormawor is charged with treason felony after reportedly threatening a coup d’etat if the government enacted the controversial Electronic Transfer Levy.
He was detained at the airport upon his return to the nation on Friday, February 11, 2022, and was brought before the Ashaiman District Court on Monday, February 14, when he was denied bail and sent into police custody.
Mr. Barker-Vormawor’s attorneys submitted a bail application at the Tema High Court, which will be heard later today, Thursday.
