Reports coming in suggest the Manhyia South Member of Parliament, Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, will report himself to the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) today, October 1, 2026.
The development comes on the heels of a High Court warrant issued on Wednesday, September 30, authorising EOCO to arrest the MP.
Reports disclosed that the arrest warrant was issued after lawyers for the Economic and Organised Crime Office applied on Wednesday, September 30, 2026.
According to 3news.com, EOCO, through its lawyers, told the court its officers had exhausted reasonable means of securing Baffour Awuah’s voluntary appearance for an ongoing investigation.
They further disclosed that the arrest was necessary because of fears of documents relevant to the investigations being concealed, altered or destroyed.
The latest development comes on the heels of EOCO’s botched attempt to arrest the Manhyia South legislator days ago.
Also, EOCO disclosed that Manhyia South Member of Parliament, Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, ignored two invitations issued in February 2026 to assist with an ongoing investigation.
According to EOCO, its invitations were not honoured, prompting the Office to take steps to secure the MP’s attendance in accordance with the law.
EOCO revealed that its officers were acting in the lawful discharge of their responsibilities when they attempted to arrest the MP in connection with the investigation.
In a press statement stated, “The Office had previously invited Hon. Baffour Awuah to assist with the investigation on two occasions in February 2026. The invitations were not honoured”.
EOCO explained that the attempted arrest was one of the lawful steps it had taken to secure his attendance after the earlier invitations were not honoured.
According to EOCO, they have identified two persons who allegedly intervened to facilitate the MP’s departure from the scene and are assessing their conduct for possible further action.
EOCO maintained that being a member of Parliament does not by itself bring an investigation to an end or place an individual beyond the reach of the law.
They further disclosed that the investigation remains active and that it will review the circumstances surrounding the incident, including available video evidence, before determining its next steps.
Meanwhile, Manhyia South MP 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.
