EOCO vs Baffour Awuah: The Arrest Attempt That Has Ghana Talking | Matters Arising

The attempted arrest of Manhyia South MP Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah by EOCO at the Accra High Court has triggered a heated debate over parliamentary privileges, due process and the powers of law-enforcement agencies. EOCO says the action followed two invitations issued to the MP in February 2026, which it says were not honoured, while Baffour Awuah disputes receiving the invitations and questions the identity and authority of the officer who approached him. The discussion examines whether the incident reflects lawful enforcement or excessive use of authority, with contrasting views on EOCO’s conduct, the MP’s response, and the role of Parliament. #mattersArising
