The lawyers of Oliver Barker-Vormawor, a leading member of the Democratic Hub, who was arrested during the hub’s anti-galamsey demonstration held from September 21 to September 23, 2024, have made a passionate appeal to the Ghana Police Service for urgent medical attention for their client.

According to Justice Srem-Sai Esq., his client, Barker-Vormawor, fell seriously ill and an initial examination revealed that he needs urgent medical care.

“I will be grateful if you could, promptly, procure professional medical care for MR OLIVER MAWUSE BARKER-VORMAWOR, who turned himself in to your custody at 2:46 pm yesterday, September 23, 2024.

“This request derives from the recommendation from a preliminary medical examination which was conducted on MR BARKER-VORMAWOR after he was taken seriously ill earlier this evening,” part of a letter the lawyer wrote to the Commander of the Greater Accra Regional Command of the police reads.

Justice Srem-Sai also complained about the police not extending medical care to his client when he fell ill.

He added that: “the private medical care which we procured for him had to wait at the police station entrance for hours to be allowed access to him.”
