TV3’s court correspondent Joseph Ackah-Blay has disclosed that another New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament from the Ashanti Region has been named in ongoing investigations by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) involving the Member of Parliament for Manhyia South, Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah.
According to Joseph Ackah-Blay, the MP, whose identity has been disclosed in court, is a lawyer who represented a company involved in a debt recovery matter between the SIC and a private company.
He further disclosed that the MP has been named in court and that investigators informed the judge that he is also under investigation in connection with the transaction.
Joseph Ackah-Blay explained that the MP was a lawyer for the company that eventually settled the debt with SIC Life.
According to him, while the Member of Parliament for Manhyia South, Baffour Awuah, represented SIC Life as a lawyer, the other MP also represented a company that was involved in the settlement agreement.
EOCO investigators are reportedly alleging possible collusion involving the Member of Parliament for Manhyia South, the other NPP MP who acted as a lawyer in the transaction and the former Managing Director of SIC Life Savings and Loans.
The brouhaha follows an alleged arrangement that resulted in SIC recovering only five million Ghana cedis instead of the 14.8 million cedis it was expected to recover.
Also, investigators have questioned the legal fees paid in the transaction, alleging that nearly half of the recovered amount was paid as legal fees, despite an agreed fee of 15 per cent of the 14.8 million cedis.
Speaking on TV3’s Daily Brief on September 30, 2026, Joseph Ackah-Blay stated, “We can only say for a fact that he is an MP from the Ashanti Region and a lawyer who was involved in this transaction, according to the investigators.”
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, Justice Srem Sai, the Deputy Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, 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”.
