  "account": "Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, MP for Manhyia South, has voluntarily reported himself to the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) after receiving an arrest warrant from a High Court. The MP is currently accompanied by his lawyer, Samuel Atta Kyea, and several other Members of Parliament at the EOCO office. The warrant was issued on September 30, 2026, after the EOCO claimed they had tried various methods to get Baffour Awuah to attend voluntarily for questioning. The agency sought the court's permission to arrest him after an altercation ensued during an attempted arrest at the Accra High Court. Other MPs present at the EOCO office include Kofi Amankwah Manu, Subin MP Obiri Yeboah, and former Deputy Attorney-General, Joseph Kpemka. The specific details of the investigation into Baffour Awuah and his alleged involvement in financial loss and money laundering are yet to be fully disclosed. Deputy Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr Justice Srem-Sai, had shared on Facebook that Baffour Awuah is being investigated for suspected offenses such as financial loss, dissipation of public funds, and money laundering. The investigation pertains to the SIC Life Savings & Loans Company Ltd.",
