The State has filed the Bill of Indictment in respect of the prosecution of Convener of #Fixthecountry Movement Oliver Barker-Vormawor.
He has been formally charged with two counts of treason for allegedly making posts on his social media accounts which endeavoured to usurp the Executive powers of the State by advocating an overthrow of the Constitution.
