NAM1 Appears In Court Again
When the accused Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Menzgold Ghana Limited, Nana Appiah Mensah known as NAM1 was initially charged on July 12, 2019, after his arrest, Thursday, March 23, 2023, purportedly marks the 33rd time he appeared before the Circuit Court in Accra, but his trial has not began yet.
The case in which the businessman is scheduled to be prosecuted for allegedly operating a Ponzi scheme that caused many Ghanaians to lose their deposits made into his gold dealership enterprise has been in court and adjourned countless times for the past three years and eight months.
NAM1 was initially charged with about 13 counts, but on September 3, 2019, the charges were expanded to 61. It has been one adjournment after another, but his plea in relation to the new allegations has not yet been accepted.
