Contingent on sources familiar with the legislator, Manhyia South Member of Parliament Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah plans to personally surrender to the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) today. This self-reporting comes after a High Court warrant was granted on Wednesday, September 30, which authorizes the EOCO to apprehend the MP after the agency informed the court it had attempted every reasonable approach to obtain his voluntary presence.
The warrant arrives following a week in which EOCO officers endeavored to arrest Mr Baffour Awuah at the Accra High Court on September 23. EOCO has contended that the attempted arrest was part of an ongoing investigation and followed two invitations extended to the MP in February 2026. Dr Justice Srem-Sai, Deputy Attorney General and Minister for Justice, has disclosed that the probe revolves around purported unauthorized monetary operations at SIC Life Savings & Loans Company Ltd, encompassing alleged financial losses, squandering of public funds, and possible money laundering. These allegations remain under investigation and have not yet been adjudicated by a court.
