The lead Convener of the FixTheCountry and Democracy Hub, Oliver Barker-Vormawor has revealed the erstwhile Akufo-Addo government actively plotted to remove the Dormaahene Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyeman Badu II as a judge.
According to Oliver Vormawor, the former Akufo-Addo Bawumia government with elements in the Judicial Council, actively tried to remove the Dormaahene as a judge.
In a post on his social media page X Vormwor wrote, “Do you know that the former government, with elements in the Judicial Council, actively sought to remove the Dormaahene as a judge simply because he granted me bail?
In fact, the charge against him was that he had exercised his judicial discretion to grant me bail in their politically motivated treason case. Their true intention was to “fix me” permanently—just as they did with Agordzo”, he added.
Oliver further detailed, “ When that plan failed because I was granted bail, they turned their sights on the judge. I have firsthand knowledge that they attempted to reassign my case to Justice Ankomah (now in the Court of Appeal) instead of Dormaahene. The Inspector General of Police even visited Ankomah personally to ensure that I remained in custody”.
According to Oliver Vormawor, this is the evil we are fighting to eradicate, people given platforms to pontificate about democracy have no real belief in it.
He added, “This is the evil we are fighting to eradicate. The very people who are now being given platforms to pontificate about democracy have no real belief in it. They are scavengers who did everything in their power to destroy this country”.
He further fired shots at former Attorney General Godfred Dame following his media address in response to reasons given by current Attorney General Dominic Ayine for discontinuing high-profile cases.
Vormawor added, “ And now, they have the audacity to cry about attacks on the judiciary? Attack my foot. Every judge in this country lived in fear under their rule. They transferred any judge who refused to do their bidding and shamelessly promoted sycophants at will.
They have politicized and packed our judiciary to the extent that no one approaching the courts today genuinely believes they will receive justice. This is the cancer we must excise—regardless of political party’, he boldly stated.
