Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, the Member of Parliament for Manhyia South, has surrendered to the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) on Thursday, October 1, 2026. According to EOCO, the MP voluntarily attended their premises at around 10:00 a.m. following months of efforts to secure his attendance. The investigation pertains to alleged criminal conspiracy, financial loss to SIC Savings and Loans, money laundering, tax-related offenses, and other matters.
EOCO stated that Mr Baffour Awuah is currently cooperating with investigators as the investigative process continues. This arrest follows a previous attempt on September 23 at the Accra High Court, which the MP resisted, claiming it was an "unlawful arrest" and an "attempted kidnap". He subsequently sought refuge at Parliament. EOCO had invited Mr Baffour Awuah twice in February 2026 to assist with the investigation, but he did not respond.
The office has assured the public that it will proceed with the investigation professionally, independently, and in accordance with due process.
