A convener of #FixtheCountry movement, Oliver Barker-Vormawor has been arrested by the Tema Regional Police Command following a post he allegedly made on social media to the effect that he would stage a coup if the Electronic Levy Bill is passed by Parliament.

According to a statement from the Ghana Police Service released on Saturday, the post made by Mr. Barker-Vormawor contained a clear statement of intent with a possible will to execute a coup in his declaration of intent to subvert the constitution of Ghana.

The Police added that he will be arraigned before court on Monday, 14th February 2022.

The Service further cautioned Ghanaians to avoid making pronouncements that may lead to a breach of the peace of the country as any such acts contravene the laws of the country.
