  "account": "At the Law Court Complex in Accra, there was a heated scene yesterday as Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) officials tried to arrest an MP and a lawyer. Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, a Member of Parliament from Manhyia South, was in court seeking bail for a nursing officer accused of circulating false news online. The court adjourned the bail application for today after confirming that an Assistant State Attorney hadn't been officially assigned to handle the case. Moments after the MP left the courtroom, he was confronted by a woman in a black and green T-shirt who claimed she was from EOCO and demanded he join a waiting car. The MP refused to follow her, insisting he hadn't received an invitation from EOCO. Tensions grew when his colleagues and supporters tried to stop her from blocking his car. The MP eventually got into his car and drove to Parliament. The EOCO official who tried to arrest him reportedly put herself at risk by trying to open the car door while it was moving. EOCO responded, saying they attempted to arrest the MP after he didn't honor an invitation from February 2026 to help with an ongoing investigation. They claim two individuals helped the MP escape, and they are investigating. The bail application for the accused nursing officer was also postponed until September 24, 2026, to allow the Office of the Attorney General to respond to the application.",
