Tension At Accra High Court As Lawyer Declines EOCO Invitation

A confrontation reportedly erupted at the Accra High Court after lawyer Baffour Awuah Agyei, counsel for detained Techiman-based nurse Salomey Baffoe Awiti in the Ghana Jollof case, allegedly declined an invitation from the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).

The incident occurred during proceedings involving the detained nurse, whose case has attracted public attention following her arrest and detention.

According to reports, the lawyer’s decision not to honour the EOCO invitation triggered a tense exchange at the court, with the circumstances surrounding the invitation becoming a subject of discussion during the proceedings.

The Ghana Jollof case has generated considerable interest, with legal proceedings continuing as the parties address issues surrounding the case.

Details of the confrontation, including the specific reasons for the EOCO invitation and the response from the lawyer, were yet to be fully established.

Further developments are expected as the case proceeds before the Accra High Court.
