EOCO’s attempted arrest of Manhyia South MP was unprofessional – Agalga
Mr Agalga said EOCO should have engaged the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, before attempting to arrest the MP, given the privileges and immunities enjoyed by Members of Parliament.
The comments follow an incident at the Accra High Court Complex on September 23, 2026, where EOCO officials attempted to take Mr Baffour Awuah into custody shortly after he appeared in court as counsel for nurse Salomey Baffoe Awiti in a bail application connected to the ongoing “Ghana Jollof” case.
Videos of the incident showed a female EOCO official approaching the MP outside the court and asking him to accompany her to the agency’s headquarters.
