Police confirm arrest of Democracy Hub protesters, launch manhunt for Oliver Vormawor

The Ghana Police Service has confirmed the arrest of several members of the Democracy Hub group during a protest at the 37 Roundabout in Accra.

According to the police, the demonstrators were involved in unlawful activities, including blocking roads, toppling police barriers, and obstructing traffic.

In an official statement, the police announced a manhunt for Oliver Vormawor, one of the protest leaders, and others involved in what they described as acts of lawlessness during the demonstration.

The protest, initially centred on the country’s economic crisis, unexpectedly shifted to focus on illegal mining, known locally as galamsey.

Viral videos from the event show Vormawor in confrontational acts, including taking a key from a police vehicle and throwing it away before fleeing. Another video shows him toppling police barricades with no apparent provocation.
