On February 27, 2026, the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) sent a letter to Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, the MP for Manhyia South and senior partner at his law firm, Sarkodie Baffour Awuah and Partners. The letter, signed by Acting Executive Director Raymond Archer, invited Baffour Awuah to appear before the Office under Section 19 of Act 804, following an earlier request made on February 10.
Baffour Awuah informed EOCO that he had referred their invitation to the Clerk of Parliament for guidance. However, EOCO rejected this, stating that the invitation was addressed to him as a law firm officer, not a Member of Parliament. The Office claimed it would not acknowledge any correspondence from the Clerk on this matter. EOCO had attempted to arrest Baffour Awuah outside the Accra High Court on September 23, but their actions were halted due to the situation escalating and concerns for public safety.
Baffour Awuah claimed he left the court without an ID or arrest warrant, driven by fear for his safety.
