Officials of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) reportedly sought to take the Manhyia South Member of Parliament, Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, into custody at the Accra High Court on Wednesday, September 23, 2026.
The reported incident is linked to investigations into the Ghana Jollof TikTok account, although the circumstances surrounding the alleged attempt remain unclear.
Sources close to the MP told Citi News that EOCO had sought his assistance with the investigations after allegedly inviting him to appear before the office.
The sources, however, disputed that claim, saying Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah had not received any invitation from EOCO.
They further alleged that the reported attempt to take the MP into custody was linked to his public defence of Salomey Baffoe, who has been alleged to be an accomplice of the operator of the Ghana Jollof TikTok account.
Videos seen by Citi News show a woman who identified herself as an EOCO officer asking the MP to accompany her to the office.
Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah declined the request before leaving the court premises in his Toyota V8 vehicle, with the officials following him.
It remains unclear whether EOCO formally invited the MP, whether an arrest warrant had been issued or the legal basis for the reported attempt to take him into custody.
EOCO had not publicly commented on the incident at the time of publication.
