FACT-CHECK: Baffour Awuah Bail Reports Spark Confusion
Reports circulating that Manhyia South MP Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah has been granted GH¢50 million bail have been disputed.
Earlier reports claimed that the MP had been granted bail with three sureties after spending the night in the custody of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).
However, EOCO has dismissed the widely circulated GH¢50 million bail report as false. Other reports have also indicated that Baffour Awuah remained in EOCO custody as the investigation continued.
The MP voluntarily reported to EOCO on October 1 after a High Court issued a warrant for his arrest. He is being investigated over alleged financial and related offences.
However, there are conflicting reports on his current bail status. The Ghana News Agency and Citi Newsroom have separately reported that EOCO granted him GH¢50 million bail with three sureties.
For now, claims about his release should therefore be treated carefully until there is a clear and consistent official confirmation from EOCO or his legal team.
