FULL GIST: EOCO Fails To Catch “GHANA JOLLOF” Saga Lawyer And MP, BAFFOUR AWUAH

Drama unfolded at the Accra High Court after officials of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) attempted to take Manhyia South MP and lawyer Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah into custody on September 23, 2026. EOCO says the attempted arrest was connected to an ongoing investigation and followed two invitations issued to Baffour Awuah in February 2026, which the agency says were not honoured. EOCO maintains that the action was part of lawful steps to secure his attendance. Baffour Awuah, however, disputes EOCO's account. His lawyers say the February correspondence was addressed to him in his former capacity as Senior Partner of Sarkodie Baffour Awuah & Partners and concerned an investigation involving a client of the firm. They say a representative of the firm subsequently cooperated with investigators and provided information requested by EOCO. The confrontation occurred shortly after Baffour Awuah appeared at the High Court as counsel for Salomey Baffoe Awiti in the ongoing “Ghana Jollof” case. The incident was captured on video and has generated widespread public discussion about EOCO's investigative powers, parliamentary privileges, due process and the circumstances surrounding the attempted arrest.
