声明澄清，议员身份本身并不能使调查终止，也不能使个人凌驾于法律之上。与此同时，EOCO 也不会采取任何与议会特权（parliamentary privilege）或宪法（Constitution）提供的任何其他保护不符的措施。

The Office (该办公室) 在总结时重申承诺，将致力于履行其法定职责，同时尊重宪法、法治以及 Parliament (议会) 的机构特权。



原文原文 / Original Text

The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has responded to the viral video showing its officers attempting to arrest the Member of Parliament for Manhyia South, Hon. Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, at the Accra High Court.

In a statement signed by Head of Corporation Affairs, EOCO said the attempted arrest today, September 23, 2026, was in connection with an ongoing investigation.

According to the anti-graft agency, the MP had previously been invited on two separate occasions in February 2026 to assist with investigations but failed to honour the invitations.

"The Office had previously invited Hon. Baffour Awuah to assist with the investigation on two occasions in February 2026. The invitations were not honoured. The Office has since taken steps to secure his attendance in accordance with the law and the attempted arrest today represents one of the lawful steps," the statement said.

EOCO clarified that its officers were acting in the lawful discharge of their statutory responsibilities when the incident occurred.

The Office revealed that the arrest could not be completed because officers assessed that any further action would have endangered public safety as the situation escalated at the court forecourt.

"During today's attempted arrest, the situation escalated and the arrest was not successfully completed as officers assessed that a counter action would have endangered public safety," EOCO stated.
