  "account": "Manhyia South MP Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah has leveled accusations at EOCO boss Raymond Archer, alleging the latter abused state power in an attempt to arrest him. Awuah maintains that any assistance he received in avoiding abduction was not unlawful. The private legal practitioner contends that the events surrounding this incident suggest a potential kidnapping and abduction attempt. He believes Archer requires better legal counsel and believes his actions will not withstand scrutiny in court. Archer is accused of aiding and abetting an assault on a lawyer, Afuaqua, who allegedly suffered an eye injury during the incident. Despite being declared a wanted person by EOCO, Awuah is determined to appear in court on his client's behalf, refusing to back down. He emphasizes his commitment to defending his client and rejects claims that EOCO's actions will deter him.",
