A High Court in Ghana has issued a warrant for the arrest of Baffour Awuah, the Member of Parliament for Manhyia South, according to GhanaWeb. The development was reported on Wednesday, 30 September 2026.
The warrant has drawn a response from Kwakye Ofosu, who questioned how the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) could be accused of intending to abduct the lawmaker openly in public view, Modern Ghana reports. His remarks push back at suggestions that the agency planned to seize Awuah in a manner visible to onlookers.
In a separate report, Modern Ghana says Kwakye Ofosu also defended an EOCO officer at the centre of the matter, stating that she is not a party operative.
The case has attracted criticism from a lawyer, who spoke out against the arrest warrant for the Ghanaian MP, according to MyJoyOnline. The warrant and the surrounding accusations have placed EOCO's conduct under scrutiny, with the agency's intentions disputed by both its critics and its defenders.
What to watch next is whether Awuah is taken into custody under the warrant and how EOCO responds to the allegations made against it.
