The Accra High Court has issued a warrant for the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) to arrest the Member of Parliament for Manhyia South, Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah. The warrant was granted following an application by EOCO, who claimed that they had exhausted reasonable means of securing the legislator’s voluntary attendance and feared that documents relevant to their investigations could be concealed, altered, or destroyed.
This comes a week after EOCO officers attempted to arrest Mr. Baffour Awuah at the Accra High Court on September 23, which he claims is linked to an investigation involving SIC Life Savings and Loans Company, a client of his former law firm. Mr. Baffour Awuah maintains that the investigation is related to the company and that his former firm was engaged to recover funds invested with another company, Equity Savings and Loans.
