EOCO should have secured warrant before Manhyia South MP’s attempted arrest attempt – Inusah Fuseini

Former Tamale Central MP Inusah Fuseini has criticized the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) for attempting to arrest Manhyia South MP Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah at the court premises. Fuseini argued that EOCO could have sought a court warrant and used the appropriate parliamentary channel to compel the legislator to appear before the agency, stating that the approach they took was problematic.

He noted that the initial encounter between the female EOCO official and the MP was civil, cordial, and respectful, suggesting that a more measured approach could have been taken. Instead, Fuseini believes the agency should have returned to court to obtain a warrant and have it served through the Speaker of Parliament to secure the MP's attendance, rather than resorting to an arrest at the court premises.
