#FixtheCountry convener Oliver Barker-Vormawor has been remanded in custody by the Ashaiman District Court.
This came after he was charged with felony treason.
Eleanor Barnes, the presiding judge, denied the accused bail due to the nature of the offense, citing that her court lacks jurisdiction to do so.
The judge ordered the police to allow three lawyers and family members of Oliver Barker Vormawor from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.
The police arrested him for allegedly writing on social media that if the E-levy bill is passed, he will overthrow the government.
“Mr. Oliver Baker-Vormawor has been arrested by the Tema Regional Police Command following a post he allegedly made on social media platforms to the effect that he would stage himself if the E-levy bill is passed by Parliament,” portions of the Police statement said.
