Manhyia South MP Baffour Awuah accompanies EOCO officers to execute search warrant at his home

MP Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, representing Manhyia South, joined Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) investigators as they executed a search warrant at his home and office. The warrant was issued after a High Court order on September 30 authorized EOCO to search for and seize documents related to their investigation into alleged financial irregularities and money laundering.

The MP had reported himself to EOCO on October 1, accompanied by his lawyer, following the arrest warrant issued on September 30. EOCO claims he was invited twice in February to assist with inquiries concerning SIC Life Savings and Loans Company Limited, but the MP maintains he was never the subject of the investigation. Reports suggest the probe may involve a 15 percent legal fee arrangement and alleged payments related to the management of SIC Life.
