The Accra High Court has issued a warrant allowing the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) to arrest Manhyia South MP Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah. This decision was prompted by the EOCO's claim that they had exhausted reasonable means to secure the legislator's voluntary attendance and feared that relevant documents could be concealed, altered, or destroyed.
This follows a previous attempt by EOCO officers to arrest the MP at the Accra High Court on September 23. Baffour Awuah has disputed the investigation's claims, stating it concerns SIC Life Savings and Loans Company, a client of his former law firm. The matter has renewed attention on the financial dealings involving SIC Life Savings and Loans and Equity Savings and Loans.
