  "account": "The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) is collaborating with the Office of the Attorney-General to bring Manhyia South Member of Parliament, Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, before a weekend court following his voluntary surrender to the Office. EOCO stated that this move was to adhere to the constitutional and procedural requirements for detaining and granting bail to suspects. On Thursday, October 1, 2026, Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah voluntarily surrendered to EOCO at approximately 10 a.m. to aid an ongoing investigation.\n\nAccording to the latest update from EOCO, the MP is actively cooperating with investigators as the Office proceeds with the necessary investigative, procedural, and operational steps. The Office is committed to complying with applicable constitutional timeframes and procedural requirements governing bail. Their primary objective is to present the Suspect before a weekend court, allowing the court to address his status, including any bail applications, as the investigation continues.\n\nIt is important to note that EOCO has firmly denied circulating media reports of granting the MP a GH¢50 million bail. The Office urged the public not to rely on such reports, emphasizing that no bail has been granted. This denial comes in anticipation of the scheduled weekend court proceedings, where any bail-related applications would be subject to the court process. EOCO has not disclosed the specific allegations under investigation, but assured that the investigative processes and procedures are ongoing.\n\nNana Agyei Baffour Awuah's voluntary surrender followed previous attempts by EOCO to engage him as part of their investigations. The Office has pledged to continue working alongside the Attorney-General’s Office as the matter advances.",
