Baffour Awuah deliberately refused to honour EOCO invitation – Deputy AG, Srem-Sai
Deputy Attorney-General Dr Justice Srem-Sai has accused Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah of deliberately refusing to honour an invitation from the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), describing his decision as a “deliberate and principle position”.
Deputy Attorney-General Dr Justice Srem-Sai has cast doubt on Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah's claim that he visited the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) multiple times after receiving an invitation, only to be arrested. Dr Srem-Sai stated that Awuah deliberately refused to attend the EOCO's invitation and did so willingly, citing no obstacles to his presence before the investigative body.
When challenged on the possibility of EOCO arresting him during his visits to represent clients, Dr Srem-Sai dismissed the notion as a "typical bad faith comment," explaining that it would have been inappropriate for the office to detain a lawyer while performing his professional duties. He further argued that arresting Awuah during such visits would have bolstered his claim of being targeted due to his work as a legal practitioner.
Dr Srem-Sai suggested that Awuah could have used his visits to EOCO to address the invitation after fulfilling his professional obligations instead of making it a deliberate excuse for not appearing before the investigative body.
