The High Court granted him bail on 16 October 2024, setting the amount at GH¢20,000 with two sureties, but efforts to fulfil the bail terms have so far been unsuccessful.

Barker-Vormawor, who was arrested alongside 52 others during a protest against illegal mining activities (galamsey) on 23 September 2024, faces multiple charges, including unlawful assembly and offensive conduct.

His arrest has attracted significant attention due to his prominent role as an activist against environmental degradation caused by galamsey.

On Friday, Barker-Vormawor indicated to the police that he "might be able to secure the necessary sureties next week to sign the bail bond." His lawyers have been informed of the situation and are actively working to resolve the matter.
