The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has begun inspecting the former law firm of Manhyia South MP Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah as part of investigations into alleged unauthorised financial transactions at SIC Life Savings & Loans Company Limited.
The MP, accompanied by his lawyer, Samuel Atta Akyea, reported to EOCO on Thursday, October 1, 2026, following an arrest warrant issued by the Accra High Court a day earlier.
EOCO officials are escorting him to the law firm to inspect the premises and gather documents relevant to the investigation. A similar exercise is expected to take place at his residence.
The court had authorised EOCO to arrest the MP and search for and seize documents considered relevant to the case.
In its application, EOCO told the court it had exhausted reasonable efforts to secure his voluntary attendance and expressed concern that evidence could be concealed, altered or destroyed.

The warrant follows an earlier attempt by EOCO to arrest Mr Baffour Awuah at the Accra High Court on September 23.
The office maintains that it invited the MP twice in February 2026, but he failed to honour the invitations.
Mr Baffour Awuah has disputed this account, explaining that the invitations were directed at his former law firm, Sarkodie, Baffour Awuah & Partners, which represented SIC Life Savings & Loans.
He said the law firm, after referring the matter to the Clerk to Parliament, sent a representative to meet investigators on March 4, March 18 and April 30, providing the requested information, including a written statement.
The investigation centres on suspected financial irregularities involving the company, with authorities examining allegations of financial loss, the dissipation of public funds and money laundering.
The allegations remain under investigation.
