On Friday (October 27), Barker-Vomawor shared, on social media, a photo of himself at the High Court supposedly waiting to be served by bailiffs.
In a series of posts, Barker-Vomawor made it known that at the time he was leaving the court premises, there was no service on him by any bailiff.

The Minister for National Security, Albert Kan-Dapaah, reportedly accused Oliver Barker-Vormawor, of evading bailiffs who are to serve him regarding his defamation suit.
