Baffour Awuah to turn himself in to EOCO today – JoyNews sources

Manhyia South Member of Parliament Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah is set to surrender to the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) today, according to sources familiar with the situation. This follows a High Court warrant issued on Wednesday, September 30, which instructs EOCO to arrest the MP after the agency claimed it had tried all reasonable avenues to secure his voluntary presence. The warrant arrives a week after EOCO officers attempted to apprehend Mr. Awuah at the Accra High Court on September 23.

The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) announced that this attempted arrest was part of an ongoing investigation into alleged unauthorized financial transactions at SIC Life Savings & Loans Company Ltd. These allegations include suspected financial losses, dissipation of public funds, and money laundering. The Deputy Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Justice Srem-Sai, confirmed that the investigation remains active and has not been concluded by a court of law.
