Representatives from the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) reportedly made an attempt to apprehend Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, the Member of Parliament for Manhyia South. This occurred at the Accra High Court on Wednesday, September 23, 2026.
According to sources close to the MP who spoke with Citi News, the attempted apprehension was allegedly based on claims that Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah had disregarded EOCO’s requests for his cooperation. These requests were for investigations concerning the Ghana Jollof TikTok account.
These same sources, however, contended that EOCO had not actually extended any invitation to the MP.
They additionally suggested that the attempted apprehension was designed to suppress the MP’s vocal advocacy for Salomey Baffoe. Salomey Baffoe is suspected of being an associate of the individual managing the Ghana Jollof TikTok account.
Footage reviewed by CitiNewsroom depicts an EOCO official approaching the MP and apparently gesturing for additional officers to approach. This occurred as Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah moved toward his vehicle.
In the footage, the MP can be heard challenging the attempted apprehension and attributing it to his legal representation of attorneys involved in the case.
“Are you attempting to arrest the legal representatives in this matter? Do you intend to intimidate the attorney and subsequently bring me to EOCO?” he is heard stating.
The specifics of the reported attempted apprehension, including whether EOCO formally contacted the MP and the justification for any intended apprehension, remain ambiguous.
EOCO has not yet issued any public statement regarding the incident.
