Accra, Oct. 1, GNA – Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, Member of Parliament (MP) for Manhyia South, has reported to the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) to assist investigations into alleged financial offences.
The allegations include money laundering, financial loss to the state, unauthorised transactions and dissipation of public funds.
The development follows an Accra High Court warrant authorising EOCO to arrest the MP and seize documents after investigators said earlier efforts to secure his voluntary attendance had failed and there was a risk of evidence being destroyed.
The Ghana News Agency learnt that the MP reported to EOCO on Thursday morning accompanied by his lawyers, led by Mr Samuel Atta Akyea.
EOCO said the MP had failed to honour invitations since February 2026, resulting in an attempted arrest at the court premises that led to a confrontation.
The MP denied the claim, stating that the circumstances surrounding his attendance had been misrepresented.
Dr Justice Srem-Sai, Deputy Attorney-General, said the investigation concerned alleged financial transactions involving SIC Life Savings and Loans Company Limited and Equity Savings and Loans.
The MP’s former law firm was engaged by SIC Life Savings and Loans to recover about GH¢3.5 million invested with Equity Savings and Loans, which later increased to about GH¢14 million with accrued interest before a settlement was reached.
Nana Agyei said the investigation should focus on his former law firm, adding that its representatives had cooperated with investigators and provided statements and relevant information.
Mr Atta Akyea, together with other Members of Parliament, later joined a convoy escorting the MP from EOCO to his residence.
Police crash barriers have been mounted at the entrance to EOCO offices, while journalists remain outside monitoring developments.
