The Manhyia South Member of Parliament, Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, has reported himself to the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) after the High Court arrest warrant.
The information gathered disclosed that the Manhyia South MP is in the company of his counsel, Samuel Atta Kyea, and other Members of Parliament.
Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah’s decision follows the 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.
Earlier, 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, Justice Srem Sai has revealed that the Member of Parliament for Manhyia South, Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, is wanted for arrest in connection with an ongoing EOCO investigation.
According to Justice Srem Sai, Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah is wanted by EOCO in connection with a complaint of unauthorised financial transactions at SIC LIFE SAVINGS & LOANS COMPANY LTD, resulting in crimes of financial loss, dissipation of public funds, and money laundering.
The Deputy Attorney-General and Minister for Justice revealed that the Accra High Court has issued a warrant authorising EOCO to arrest the legislator, following Baffour Awuah’s alleged failure to honour invitations since February 2026.
In a statement on X on September 30, 2026, Justice Srem Sai said the arrest warrant followed Baffour Awuah’s alleged refusal to cooperate with EOCO’s criminal investigation.
He wrote, “I can confirm that the High Court has issued a warrant for the arrest of Mr AGYEI BAFFOUR AWUAH (Hon. MP), who has, since February 2026, refused to honour an EOCO criminal investigative invitation.
Mr AWUAH’s imminent arrest is part of an inquiry by EOCO into a complaint of unauthorised financial transactions at SIC LIFE SAVINGS & LOANS COMPANY LTD, resulting in crimes of financial loss, dissipation of public funds, money laundering, among others”.
