An Accra High Court has adjourned to October 21, the case of Oliver Barker-Vormavor, the Convener of FixTheCountry, who is on treason felony charge.
Lawyers of Oliver had filed an application seeking to quash the Bill of Indictment against the Convenor.

According to the State Attorney, the application in opposition was filed this morning.
