Lawyers for Manhyia South MP Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah have challenged the Economic and Organised Crime Office's (EOCO) account of invitations to assist with an ongoing investigation. EOCO claims the MP failed to respond to invitations in February but the legal team insists the correspondence was related to an investigation involving one of the firm's clients, SIC Life Savings and Loans Company Limited.
This clarification follows an attempted arrest of the MP at the Accra High Court on September 23, 2026. EOCO maintains that the MP was invited twice in February but he and his legal team argue that he was not the subject of the investigation. They say he informed EOCO on February 18 that he was a Member of Parliament and referred the matter to the Clerk to Parliament for advice.
The legal team also disputes the timing of the attempted arrest, suggesting it may be connected to the MP's recent role as legal counsel for Salomey Awiti Bafoh in another ongoing case.
