Oliver Barker-Vormawor denied bail for the 3rd time

The convenor of the anti-galamsey protest organised by the Democracy Hub, Oliver Barker-Vormawor, has been denied bail once again today.

This development at the Circuit Court marks the third time the court has refused his bail request since he was arrested during the demonstration two weeks ago.

This was after the Attorney General's Department opposed his application.

Prior to this, he had been refused same by an Accra High Court, and the Circuit Court, respectively.

Meanwhile, another detainee Fanny Otoo who has been sick since the arrest, was granted bail of GHs20,000 with two sureties.

The case has been adjourned to October 14, 2024.

This morning in court, the State filed an affidavit opposing the bail applications for 20 other anti-galamsey detainees.

This followed the State’s assertion that they had not been served with the applications, despite court documents indicating service on October 2.

The Judge then directed that the protestors’ lawyers be properly served.

The case was adjourned to Wednesday, October 9.
