EOCO GRANTS BAFFOUR AWUAH GH¢50 MILLION BAIL AS SIC SAVINGS AND LOANS PROBE CONTINUES
The Economic and Organised Crime Office has granted Manhyia South Member of Parliament Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah GH¢50 million bail with three sureties as investigations involving SIC Savings and Loans continue. The bail decision follows his voluntary appearance at EOCO on Thursday, October 1, after an Accra High Court issued a warrant for his arrest and authorized searches for documents considered relevant to the investigation. EOCO says the investigation concerns allegations including criminal conspiracy, financial loss to SIC Savings and Loans, money laundering and tax related offenses. Baffour Awuah and his legal team dispute aspects of EOCO's account and have questioned the basis of the investigation. No court has established the allegations against him, and EOCO has urged the public to allow the investigative and judicial processes to proceed without presuming culpability.
