Baffour Awuah under EOCO investigation over alleged financial loss and money laundering – Deputy AG
Deputy Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr Justice Srem-Sai, has confirmed that the High Court has issued a warrant for the arrest of the Member of Parliament for Manhyia South, Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah.
Deputy Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr Justice Srem-Sai, has revealed that Manhyia South Member of Parliament Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah is currently under investigation by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) for alleged unauthorised financial transactions at SIC Life Savings & Loans Company Ltd. The investigation centers on suspected offenses such as financial loss, dissipation of public funds, and money laundering.
Dr Srem-Sai announced this while confirming the issuance of a High Court warrant for Awuah's arrest due to his alleged failure to respond to an invitation from EOCO since February 2026. The MP reportedly declined to cooperate with the investigation. According to Dr Srem-Sai, EOCO has exhausted all reasonable means to secure Awuah's voluntary attendance, prompting the issuance of the warrant.
This comes a week after EOCO officers attempted to arrest Awuah at the Accra High Court on September 23, leading to a confrontation and public debate over the agency's approach to securing his attendance. The allegations against the MP have not yet been determined by a court.
