Inspector General of Police(IGP), George Akuffo Dampare has warned the British High Commissioner to Ghana to stay off the case involving the arrest of the #FixTheCountry convener, Oliver Barker Vormawor because it is in breach of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.
IGP Dr George Akuffo Dampare, sent a four-page response to the British High Commissioner to Ghana, Harriet Thompson, over a tweet she made on May 17, 2022, expressing interest in the case of the arrest of Oliver Barker-Vormawo
The convener of the #FixTheCountry movement had been arrested on the day in what the police said was due to traffic-related offences, when he was on his way to court for a case of treason felony he is standing trial for.
In her tweet, Harriet Thompson wrote, “Oliver Barker Vormawor, convener of #FixTheCountry movement, arrested again, I understand for a motoring offence on his way to court. I’ll be interested to see where this goes…”
But in what seems like the longest reply ever penned down by the IGP on any matter since he took office, COP Dr George Akuffo Dampare has asked the British diplomat to avoid meddling in the internal matters of her host country.
Meanwhile,
The minority groups in Parliament have also registered their dissatisfaction.
Addressing the media, the minority leader Hon. Haruna Iddrisu lamented that this current administration has suppressed the freedom of speech ensured by the 1992 Constitution and they are deeply concerned about it.
