Manhyia South MP Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah has voluntarily surrendered to the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) following a court order. On September 30, the Accra High Court granted EOCO a warrant to arrest the MP and seek documents pertaining to an ongoing investigation into alleged unauthorized financial transactions at SIC Life Savings and Loans Company Limited.
The court, however, directed that the arrest be carried out through the Speaker of Parliament. EOCO had attempted multiple times to invite Baffour Awuah for voluntary attendance, but he refused. He contends that the invitation in February 2026 was meant for the former Senior Partner of his law firm, Sarkodie Baffour Awuah & Partners, engaged by SIC Life to recover a debt.
Baffour Awuah claims he referred the matter to the Clerk to Parliament on February 18 and provided a formal written statement after cooperation from the firm's representative. The EOCO, led by Executive Director Raymond Archer, maintains that the attempted arrest on September 23 was lawful under Section 19 of Act 804. Baffour Awuah remains in EOCO custody as investigations persist.
