The Ghana Police Service has urged the public to disregard claims by #FixTheCountry convener, Oliver Barker-Vormawor that he was prevented by officers at the Ashaiman Police Station from donating food items to his former cell mates.

A statement released by the Tema Regional Police Command and posted on the Facebook page of the Ghana Police Service said that they had informed Barker-Vormawor through his lawyers before hand that they would not accept his donations for security and safety reasons, but he still went ahead and sent the items for mischievous reasons. The statement explained that it is the responsibility of the government to feed people who are in police custody, but for cultural and other reasons, they sometimes allow family members of the inmates to bring food to them, but the items are subjected to thorough checks before they are given to the inmates. On Sunday, March 20, Barker-Vormawor and some members of the #FixTheCountry had gone to the police station where he had been in detention for several weeks, to donate some items to them.
