Police dismiss “falsehoods” over Vormawor’s medical expenses in custody

The Ghana Police Service has dismissed recent social media claims that political activist Oliver Barker-Vormawor was returned to police custody from the Police Hospital due to an inability to cover his medical bills.

In a statement, the police labeled these allegations as false, aimed at garnering public sympathy for Barker-Vormawor.

They clarified that his medical expenses were fully covered by the police in line with their procedures for suspects in custody, and they declined to disclose further details due to doctor-patient confidentiality.

The police also denied reports that Barker-Vormawor had been rushed to the hospital, urging the public to disregard these claims.
