The convener of the Democracy Hub protest, Oliver Barker-Vormawor, has responded to the Ghana Police Service claims that he is hiding and has been declared wanted.
He said the Police statement suggesting that he is on the run and for that matter they (Police) are on a manhunt for him are baseless and misleading.

STATEMENT
23 September 2024
RE: FALSE CLAIMS OF A MANHUNT – CLARIFICATION AND NEXT STEPS
It has come to my attention that the Ghana Police Service has issued press statements suggesting that they are on a manhunt for me, thereby creating the false impression that I am on the run. These claims are baseless and misleading, as I have been in consistent communication with senior officers within the Police hierarchy regarding my whereabouts and availability.
In light of these developments, I have instructed my lawyers to urgently engage with the Ghana Police Service to seek clarification on which specific police station or office they wish me to report to. My legal team stands ready to cooperate and will be in touch with the relevant authorities to ascertain the appropriate steps required.
I remain committed to the rule of law and to addressing any issues raised by the Police in accordance with due process. I expect that this engagement will provide clarity and prevent any further attempts to distort the truth.
Signed,
Oliver Barker-Vormawor
