Baffour Awuah cooperating with investigators after surrender and arrest – EOCO

Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, the Member of Parliament for Manhyia South, is working with investigators after being arrested by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO). According to the office, Baffour Awuah voluntarily turned himself in at the EOCO premises around 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, October 1, 2026. The investigation involves allegations of criminal conspiracy, financial loss to SIC Savings and Loans, money laundering, tax-related offences and other matters.

EOCO stated that Baffour Awuah is currently cooperating with the investigators as the inquiry progresses. This arrest followed a failed attempt to apprehend him at the Accra High Court on September 23, when Baffour Awuah resisted his detainment, calling it an "unlawful arrest" and an "attempted kidnap". Prior to his arrest, EOCO invited Baffour Awuah twice in February 2026 to help with their investigation, but he did not attend.

Baffour Awuah denied these claims, stating that the February correspondence was related to his past work as Senior Partner at the law firm, representing SIC Life Savings and Loans Company Limited.
