Oliver Barker Vormawor, one of the Democracy Hub conveners, has maintained that he was justified in escaping with the police towing truck’s key.
Since he was defending demonstrators whose lives were in danger, he has stated that he would do it again if given the chance.
This was stated by Oliver Barker Vormawor in an interview that has not yet been broadcast on TV3 in Accra.
He claimed that the only choice he had was to demobilize the police towing truck before they hurt some of the demonstrators with it after the police used it to tow their truck, which included water and medication, among other items.
“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.”
” 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.
