Martin Kpebu explains when EOCO can arrest Manhyia South MP after securing court warrant

Speaking on Joy FM’s Top Story on Wednesday, September 30, he said under Article 117 of the 1992 Constitution and Section 21 of the Parliament Act, 1965 (Act 300), an MP enjoys protection from arrest while attending, going to or returning from Parliament.

The development comes a week after EOCO officers attempted to arrest the MP at the Accra High Court on September 23, leading to a chaotic confrontation.

Private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu has explained the circumstances under which the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) can arrest the Manhyia South MP, Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, following the High Court’s issuance of an arrest warrant.
