Officials of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) reportedly attempted to arrest Manhyia South Member of Parliament Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah at the Accra High Court on Wednesday, September 23, 2026.
According to reports, the alleged arrest attempt was connected to claims that the Manhyia South MP had failed to respond to invitations from EOCO to assist with investigations into the Ghana Jollof TikTok account.
However, sources cited in the reports disputed the claim, maintaining that Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah had not received any formal invitation from EOCO.
The sources also alleged that the reported attempt to arrest the lawmaker could be linked to his public defence of Salomey Baffoe, who has reportedly been described as an alleged accomplice of the individual operating the Ghana Jollof TikTok account.

Videos Show Reported EOCO-MP Encounter
Videos circulating on social media appear to show a woman identifying herself as an EOCO officer asking Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah to accompany her to the agency’s office.
The MP reportedly declined the request and was later seen leaving the area in his Toyota V8 vehicle, while individuals identified as EOCO officials followed him.
The circumstances surrounding the reported incident remain unclear. Questions have also been raised over whether EOCO formally invited the MP and what legal grounds, if any, supported the reported attempt to take him into custody.

The development comes amid investigations reportedly involving the Ghana Jollof TikTok account, with the roles of individuals connected to the matter yet to be fully established publicly.
Further details are expected as EOCO or the MP provides clarification on the reported encounter at the Accra High Court.
