Baffour Awuah is cooperating with ongoing investigations – EOCO

Manhyia South Member of Parliament Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah has voluntarily turned himself in to the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) to aid with ongoing investigations into a variety of alleged offences, including financial crimes, money laundering, and tax-related matters. EOCO announced that the MP, who is also a senior partner at Sarkodie, Baffour Awuah and Partners, reported to their headquarters on Thursday, October 1, 2026, at approximately 10:00 a.m. This decision came after several months of attempts to secure his presence for questioning related to these allegations.

Upon his arrival, EOCO initiated the necessary investigative procedures, after which Mr Baffour Awuah was arrested. The Office clarified that he is currently cooperating with the investigators as the investigation continues. The warrant for his arrest was issued on September 30 after EOCO reported that they had made reasonable efforts to obtain his voluntary attendance.

Baffour Awuah had previously stated that he had not disregarded any EOCO invitation and expressed his willingness to attend if invited. Once notified of the arrest warrant, he willingly went to the Office ahead of its official issuance. EOCO affirmed that they will proceed with their investigation in a professional, independent, and due process manner, ensuring all involved are treated with their constitutional and legal rights.

They urged the public to allow the legal process to unfold without forming premature conclusions or jumping to speculations about individual guilt. EOCO promised to release further information as legally permissible.
