I don’t think EOCO has legitimate basis to investigate SIC transaction – Atta Akyea
Samuel Atta Akyea, lawyer for Manhyia South MP, Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, has questioned the basis and jurisdiction of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) in investigating a transaction involving SIC Life Savings and Loans.
Samuel Atta Akyea, Manhyia South MP Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah's lawyer, has cast doubt on the Economic and Organised Crime Office's (EOCO) authority to investigate a transaction involving SIC Life Savings and Loans. Mr Akyea argued that the matter stemmed from a previously settled legal dispute, with SIC Life signing the settlement.
He questioned whether EOCO's mandate extends to lawyer-client arrangements and raised concerns about the legitimacy of investigating a settlement that could be deemed unfavorable. Mr Akyea also challenged the basis for implicating a lawyer who was acting on his client's instructions. EOCO is currently conducting searches at Mr Baffour Awuah's law firm and residence as part of its investigation into alleged unauthorized financial transactions at SIC Life.
