The Minority in Parliament has called on President John Dramani Mahama to intervene regarding the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) following its attempt to arrest MP Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah on court premises. Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the Minority Leader, accused EOCO of abusing its powers by attempting to arrest the lawyer and legislator at a venue where such actions should not be permitted.
Afenyo-Markin urged the Chief Justice to investigate whether such agencies are allowed to enter court premises for arrest purposes. He stressed that the Minority Caucus is not against accountability or lawful work by state institutions, but demands that they operate within the law. Nana Awuah recounted that after representing his client in court, he was approached by a woman at the foyer who claimed he had been previously invited to meet EOCO, despite him stating he had not been invited.
When Awuah requested identification and an arrest warrant, the woman provided neither, prompting Awuah to leave the premises for his own safety and proceed to Parliament.
