The Supreme Court has dismissed a motion by FixTheCountry convener, Oliver Barker Vormawor which sought to quash the decision by the High Court after he challenged its jurisdiction to hear the case as well as the constitutionality of the treason felony charge against him.
The High Court presided over by Mary Ekue Yanzuh on May 27, 2024, dismissed the activist's motion challenging its jurisdiction after applying to halt proceedings until it was determined by the apex court.
At the apex court on December 12, both Oliver and his counsel were present but there was no representation from the Attorney-General's office.
Lead counsel for Barker Vormawor, Dr Justice Srem Sai prayed the court to grant his order of certiorari on the basis that Section 182 of Act 29 was inconsistent with Article 3 (3) of the 1992 constitution.
