One of the conveners for Democracy Hub, Oliver Barker Vormawor, has insisted that he was not wrong in running away with the key to the police’s towing truck.
He has indicated that he will do it again if he gets the opportunity any day because he was protecting protesters whose lives were being put in harm’s way.
Oliver Barker Vormawor made this known in a yet-to-be-aired interview on Accra-based TV3.
He said the police brought their towing truck to tow their truck that contained water and medicine, among others and the only option he had was to demobilize the police towing truck before they injure some of the protesters with it.
“I started walking around the towing truck to see if we can demobilize the towing truck for the fear that it might injure the individuals. So I went around it but I couldn’t see how.
Then I got to where the driver was supposed to be, and there was no driver. Immediately, I even thought that it was security incompetence to leave a vehicle running in this scenario. So my first instinct is that I turn it off.
On whether turning off the engine of the police vehicle and taking the key he said ” I think that it is reckless to deny citizens their rights. I will do it today; I will do it consistently and in fact, I will invite every citizen whose rights are being oppressed whether you are a subject to unlawful arrest or unlawful seizure of property that you’re constitutionally entitled to resist it. Don’t look at the fact that the individuals who are involved are policemen,” he said.
Oliver Barker Vormawor has been speaking for the first time since his release on bail. In a soon-to-air episode of Hot Issues with Keminni Amanor, he explains why he demobilized the police tow truck as seen in the now viral video.#News360 pic.twitter.com/IiUIqIpvQb— #3NewsGH (@3NewsGH) October 23, 2024
