He was arrested by the Tema Regional Police Command following a post he allegedly made on a social media platform to the effect that he would stage a coup himself if the E-Levy Bill is passed by Parliament.
“The post contained a clear statement of intent with a possible will to execute a coup in his declaration of intent to subvert the constitution of the Republic of Ghana,” a Police statement issued on Saturday morning said.
Members of his social activism group who made the disclosure say attempts to get him to eat after he was located at the Police station have been unsuccessful.
The hunger strike according to the movement is believed to be in protest of what the convener considers to be the government’s suppression of freedoms.
Since his arrest, he has been on a hunger strike. [We are sending food to him, but he is refusing it].”
Earlier, the group had raised concerns about the whereabouts of Oliver Barker-Vormawor after he was picked up by the Police at the Kotoka International Airport last Friday.
The Police debunked reports that he had gone missing, thereby taking responsibility for his arrest.
