The former Member of Parliament for Lambussie in the Upper West Region, Dr Bright Bakye Yelviel Baligi, has allegedly been arrested by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).

Controversial Ghanaian media personality, Blakk Rasta, disclosed this while speaking on his show, The Blakk Pot, on Monday, June 1, 2026.

Blakk Rasta claimed that the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) picked up the former New Patriotic Party (NPP) MP, who lost his seat in the 2024 elections, on Monday, May 25, 2026.

“On Monday (May 25), something interesting happened, exactly a week today, our lenses went to Tamale, and we realised that EOCO was around. We followed up and realised EOCO had picked up a certain former MP. The former MP for Lamusie, his name is Bright Bakye Baligi, this is the man we are talking about,” Blakk Rasta said.
He continued that the arrest was in connection with alleged criminal activities linked to the arrest of Hanan Abdul Wahab, the former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the National Food Buffer Stock Company.

“Baligi is said to have a relationship with Hanan Abdul Wahab, the former CEO of Buffer Stock. This guy is said to be friends with Hanan, and together, they allegedly went to do some dubious, criminal activities,” Blakk Rasta alleged.
“Now that Hanan is standing trial, EOCO is beginning to fish out all the alleged accomplices. It doesn’t matter if you are a member of the Council of State, an MP, a pastor, or a reverend minister; EOCO would come after you.”
