Baffour Awuah’s EOCO questioning centred on SIC matter – Bosome Freho MP

The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) questioned Manhyia South Member of Parliament (MP), Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, regarding the SIC Life matter. The questioning focused on his legal work and involvement in the matter, according to Bosome Freho Member of Parliament, Nana Asafo-Adjei Ayeh. Speaking on Joy FM’s Top Story, Nana Asafo-Adjei Ayeh revealed that Baffour Awuah, who was not an employee of SIC, provided legal services and was paid by a third party.

He explained that the EOCO officials asked him a few questions about SIC, as he was a lawyer and not working with SIC. According to Nana Asafo-Adjei Ayeh, the MP informed the officials that all relevant documents had already been submitted and additional information could be obtained directly from SIC. The MP cautioned the officials against accessing confidential documents belonging to his other clients.

After the questioning, EOCO officials searched Baffour Awuah’s office and later his residence. The investigation by EOCO is related to alleged unauthorised financial transactions involving SIC Life Savings & Loans Company Ltd, with suspected offences including financial loss, dissipation of public funds, and money laundering.
