Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, the Member of Parliament for Manhyia South, has fired shots at the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) and the Member of Parliament for Akwatia, Bernard Bediako Baidoo over their allegations levelled against him.
According to the Manhyia South MP, the allegations by EOCO, which have been amplified by Bernard Bediako Baidoo, are attempts to discredit him and intimidate him from defending Salomey Awiti Baffoe, the nurse linked to the Ghana Jollof case.
Speaking in an interview shared on the Manhyia South MP’s social media page on X, he stated, “When their gross incompetence is exposed, then they try to find a way to silence you. I am not a weak person that this government thinks they can intimidate me; you can orchestrate all the lies you want against me, but that won’t stop me from defending Salomey,” he wrote.
“Because it didn’t end well, Raymond is now spewing lies to the public. He wants to find every means to justify the action. You have heard most of the lies. The Akwatia MP is the one leading the charge, spewing lies. For him, a respected pastor has come out to say that he, the Akwatia MP, has defrauded him. Which credibility do you even have to talk about my matter? There’s no truth in that,” he said.
“It is Raymond Archer’s modus operandi. When they saw I was defending the lady, Salomey Awiti, they then scan through the security system to see who can get something on me. This is typical of this government, so what it uses against NPP MPs,” he said.
His comment follows Bernard Bediako Baidoo, who dropped more details about EOCO’s evidence against the Manhyia South MP, Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah.
According to the Akwatia MP, the recent attempts by EOCO to arrest Baffour Awuah have nothing to do with his representation of Salomey Awiti Baffoe in the Ghana Jollof case.
The Akwatia MP detailed that evidence gathered by EOCO against the Manhyia South MP includes a claim that without the knowledge of the board of SIC Life, he renegotiated a judgment the state-owned enterprise had won as a micro-credit firm, Equity Micro-Finance.
Bernard Baidoo alleged that the Manhyia South legislator, on behalf of his law firm, represented SIC Life in its case against Equity after the private company could not pay back a loan of GH¢6 million.
Speaking in an interview on Accra FM after the suit, on Monday, September 28, 2026, the Akwatia MP detailed, “When he was going to court, SIC gave him GH¢280,000. The court awarded a judgment in favour of SIC for the sale of the microfinance company’s property, which was worth GH¢25 million. The auctioneer the court appointed to sell the property had even gotten a buyer, and the deal was almost done.
“All of a sudden, another company called Eco Swiss came into the frame claiming that Equity Micro Finance had sold the said property (a land) to them long ago… The matter went to court, and before the court could even determine the true owner of the land, Baffour Awuah went to settle the matter of the state entity. As we speak, this is no board decision which permitted him to do that,” the Akwatia legislator said.
He further alleged that evidence from EOCO also showed that Baffour Awuah was paid by all three companies involved in the matter – SIC Life, Eco Swiss and Equity – although he was supposed to be a lawyer for the state-owned company.
“He settled with Eco Swiss for them to pay GH¢5 million for that loan facility whose principal was even GH¢6 million for the matter to die. These are things Baffour Awuah signed as a solicitor. But as a solicitor, he has to prove here that he got the authority to renegotiate a judgment of GH¢14 million.
“After this, Eco Swiss gave Baffour Awuah GH¢2.2 million. What was this for? You were not their lawyer… All of these are from EOCO documents. As if this was not enough, the people from Equity also gave him over GH¢600,000,” he said.
Meanwhile, Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah has already sued the Member of Parliament for Akwatia, Bernard Bediako Baidoo, and broadcaster Abubakar Alhassan, popularly known as Blakk Rasta.
According to Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, his suit is against the two individuals for allegedly “spewing falsehoods” about his person.
