Manhyia South MP Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah has been charged with conspiracy, financial loss, and money laundering by the Office of the Attorney-General in Ghana. The charges stem from allegations that Awuah, while acting as a lawyer for SIC Life Savings & Loans Company Limited, conspired to intentionally dissipate GH¢9.85 million belonging to the company.
Additionally, Awuah is accused of intentionally causing SIC Life to suffer a financial loss of GH¢9.85 million and transferring GH¢1 million to SIC Life's then Managing Director, knowing that the money had been acquired through crime. The charges are based on Awuah's role as Senior Partner of Sarkodie Baffour Awuah & Partners, which was engaged by SIC Life to recover a debt from Equity Savings and Loans Limited.
The case arose after SIC Life won a judgment against Equity in 2024, and subsequent events involving the sale of a parcel of land and a settlement agreement involving Awuah are at the heart of the charges.
