Oliver Barker-Vormawor, a lawyer and social activist, who was being held for treason, has been discharged by an Accra High Court. 

At the court on Monday Barker-Vormawor and his counsel were absent when the matter was called. 

However, prosecution, led by Esi Dentaa Yankah, the Principal State Attorney, informed the court that the state had filed a Nolle Prosequi discontinuing the matter. 

The trial judge said the court was aware of the Nolle Prosequi filed by the state, hence discharged Barker-Vormawor. 

The accused was facing treason felony, which started in 2022. 

He was nabbed by security personnel for threatening a coup should Parliament pass the then E-Levy Bill into law.
