The lead Convener of the FixTheCountry and Democracy Hub, Oliver Barker-Vormawor has revealed that Foreign embassies constantly offered to extract him into asylum.
Oliver Barker-Vormawor noted that Foreign embassies revealed to him they had intelligence that made them certain he wouldn’t survive in Ghana.
Oliver Barker-Vormawor in a post on X wrote, “ The public has no idea what it has taken to still be standing here, in dignity. Foreign embassies constantly offered to extract me into asylum because of the intelligence they had—intelligence that made them certain I wouldn’t survive to see 2024. Still, I refused. I stayed”.
He further detailed his ordeal when he was arrested and jailed, “When I exposed attempts to stab and poison me in jail, the government finally admitted that they planted a National Security operative in my tiny 4×4 cell—not to kill me, they claimed, but to “monitor” me. And knife, poisoned bread and mobile phone the other inmates beat out of him, when he tried to get close to me were nothing but monitoring devices, I am sure.
“What threat did I pose, stripped down to my boxers, locked behind two security gates, with 50 armed police officers standing guard outside? And yet, these are the same people given platforms today to preach about morality and democracy”, he added.
Vormawor further added that Ghanaians need to hear the horror stories that the Akufo-Addo regime put them through.
“Ghanaians need to hear the stories of horror that the Previous regime put us through! We must tell our stories”, he added.
The social activist in the same post also revealed the former Member of Parliament for Asante Akim North, Andy Appiah-Kubi was poisoned by his own government.
According to Oliver Barker-Vormawor, Andy Appiah-Kubi had to seek protection from the U.S. embassy.
He asserted that the former NPP MP foresaw the risk of a landslide loss for the NPP and dared to demand Ken Ofori-Atta’s removal.
Oliver Barker-Vormawor wrote, “Andy Appiah-Kubi, then an NPP MP, foresaw the risk of a landslide loss for his party and dared to demand Ken Ofori-Atta’s removal. For that, his own government poisoned him. Even while hospitalized, senior officials attempted to forcibly remove him. He had to seek protection—not from criminals, but from his own government—through the U.S. embassy. In the end, they ensured he lost his seat”.
He further added, “ These are his own words, not mine”.
