The Economic and Organised Crimes Office (EOCO) has secured a court
order to seize all properties belonging to the embattled Chief Executive
Officer of Menzgold, Nana Appiah Mensah.
A statement by EOCO stated that all persons including employees of
affected companies with properties belonging to Mr. Mensah popularly
known as NAM 1 must send them to the EOCO office or will constitute a
contempt of court.
This comes after the EOCO on January 15, froze some accounts of the
embattled Chief Executive Officer of the gold dealership firm.
Following the arrest of NAM 1 in Dubai, a delegation from Ghana left
to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), to engage authorities there on the
next line of action.
NAM 1’s extradition to Ghana became of interest to Ghanaian
authorities after an arrest warrant was issued for him back home, over
his company’s inability to pay thousands of Ghanaians their investments.
The Ghanaian delegation, however, failed to negotiate NAM 1’s release
after it emerged that he had been charged for misdemeanour in Dubai and
would be put before court in that country on February 2.
