  "summary": "Legal practitioner Theophelious Dzimegah has stated that the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) is simply doing its mandate in the Baffour Awuah case, and has not violated the Manhyia South MP's rights. According to Dzimegah, Article 14(3) of the Constitution outlines when a detained person must be brought before a court, and EOCO has complied with these requirements. He believes that Baffour Awuah should have presented himself to investigators, given his role at the law firm linked to the transactions being looked at. The row over how EOCO has gone about getting Mr Baffour Awuah to appear and his subsequent arrest and detention has been the subject of much debate.",
