Lawyers for Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, the Member of Parliament for Manhyia South, will ask the court to release him on his own recognisance. This means he would be trusted to return to court without having to pay money.
The MP is scheduled to appear before a court today, Saturday, October 3. He was detained on Thursday, October 1.
Mr. Awuah reported to the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) with his legal team on Thursday. His detention followed an action by EOCO.
The specific charges against the MP are not detailed in this report. Further court proceedings will clarify the details of the case.
