The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) is working with the Attorney-General's Office to bring Manhyia South MP Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah before a weekend court, according to a statement released on Friday, October 2, 2026. The office emphasized its commitment to adhering to constitutional timeframes and procedures regarding bail. They clarified that Mr. Awuah, who turned himself in to the office on Thursday, October 1, at 10am, is currently cooperating with investigators.
The EOCO statement also addressed recent reports alleging that Mr. Awuah was kept waiting for hours before his arrest and held overnight. They denied these claims, stating that Mr. Awuah is actively assisting with the ongoing investigation. This development follows assertions made by Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin, who alleged that Mr. Awuah was detained without adequate notice and that his home was searched pursuant to a court order that only applies to his law firm.
