STC CEO, Nana Akomea, has condemned the Police detention of the #FixTheCountry convener, Oliver Barker-Vormawor beyond the lawful 48 hours of arrest.

Oliver Barker-Vormawor arrested by the Police is said to have exceeded his 48-hour stay in Police custody under Police alibi that they couldn't find a court for him to be granted bail.

He is charged with treason felony for making comments on social media about plotting a coup.

"If this E-Levy passes... I will do the coup myself. Useless Army!", he posted on Facebook.

"The post contained a clear statement of intent with a possible will to execute a coup in his declaration of intent to subvert the constitution of the Republic of Ghana," a Police statement read following Mr. Barker-Vormawor's post. 

Making submissions on Peace FM's ''Kokrokoo'', Nana Akomea expressed disgust over the conduct of the Police stressing, "two wrongs do not make a right''.

He rejected the Police alibi, maintaining they had no excuse to detain the Journalist for more than the specified period.

"There is no excuse. There is no excuse for breaking the law or else we will all break the law and give excuses. As for excuses, if you want some, you will get them," he said.

Nana Akomea also advised the Police not act in annoyance, hence slap people with extreme charges.
