EOCO moves to search Baffour Awuah’s office, residence after interrogation
The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has moved to the office and residence of Member of Parliament for Manhyia South, Nana Agyei Baffuor, to execute a search warrant secured from the court.
The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has begun searching the office and home of Manhyia South Member of Parliament, Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah. This comes after a lengthy questioning session at EOCO's office and following the issuance of a High Court search warrant. Mr. Awuah voluntarily surrendered himself to the agency earlier today, accompanied by his lawyer Samuel Atta Kyea and several fellow MPs.
The warrant was granted on Wednesday after EOCO claimed they had tried all reasonable options to get Mr. Awuah to come for questioning. Prior attempts to arrest him at the Accra High Court led to an altercation. Among the other MPs present were Kofi Amankwah Manu, Subin MP Obiri Yeboah, and former Deputy Attorney-General Joseph Kpemka.
The MP is currently under probe for alleged unauthorized financial activities at SIC Life Savings & Loans Company Ltd. The probe includes accusations of financial loss, misuse of public funds, and money laundering. These searches are part of EOCO's ongoing probe into the case.
