Parliament questions continued detention of Baffour Awuah by EOCO, demands due process

Parliament has expressed grave concern over the continued detention of the Member of Parliament for Manhyia South, Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), demanding that due process be strictly followed in handling the case. The MP voluntarily presented himself to EOCO on Thursday, October 1, after reports that the High Court had issued a warrant for his arrest. Parliament, in a press statement issued on Saturday, October 3, said it had learnt with grave concern that he remained in custody despite voluntarily reporting to the investigative agency and, as Parliament understands it, cooperating with the process.
