Release NAM1 from INTERPOL list – Menzgold staff to gov’t
Some workers of defunct gold dealership firm Menzgold Ghana, want President Nana Akufo-Addo to suspend the search of their CEO, Nana Appiah Mensah by INTERPOL.
The group says the INTERPOL alert on their boss is making it difficult for him to access money from the Diamond Royale Company in Dubai to settle customers of Menzgold.
In an interview with Citi News, spokesperson of the group, Collins Ankomah lamented the ordeal of staff of Menzgold he claimed are being tagged as scammers.
“There is this new tagging that if you were working with Menzgold, then there is this perception you are a scammer or fraudster. People have taken our pictures and have embossed on them Menzgold Scammers. Every staff of the company wants the customers to get their monies back.”
“Our concern is that, we are pleading to the government to lift the ban or red alert on NAM 1 to make sure that he returns to this country to pay us our money”, he added.
These aggrieved customers say the detention is bringing untold hardship on them because it is crippling the ability of the company from expediting actions to acquire funds that will be used to settle them.
The beleaguered Nana Appiah Mensah was in January 2019 picked up in Dubai by Interpol.
At the time, the Criminal Investigations Department of the Ghana Police Service indicated that it had sent notices to all 194-member states of INTERPOL to get him arrested wherever he would be found.
The customers are asking government to get Nana Appiah Mensah released in Dubai in order to have their locked-up cash retrieved.
According to reports, the Dubai dealer, a national of the United Arab Emirates reported that his company, Horizon Royal Diamonds DMCC, had attempted to close a deal with Appiah Mensah involving 750 kilos of gold with the value of about US$51 million.
Nana Appiah Mensah was issued with a countersuit alleging that Horizon Royal Diamonds DMCC rather owes Menzgold $28 million.
An arrest warrant was secured to have him brought before the law to answer a charge of defrauding by false pretense.
