In contrast to previous accounts, the Ghana Police Service has officially acknowledged the receipt of GH¢2.5 million from the Chief Executive of the troubled gold dealership firm, Menzgold.
The money has been sent to the Bank of Ghana, according to the police.
“The Police, on the advice of the Office of the Attorney-General, on Friday 20th October 2023, received an amount of GH₵2.5 Million from suspect Nana Appiah Mensah, popularly known as Nam 1.
“The said amount has been deposited in the Police Exhibit account at the Bank of Ghana (BoG) for the attention of the Court.
“The amount is part of investigations into petitions received from some customers of MenzGold Ghana Company Limited and Brew Marketing Consult Limited, currently before the Accra High Court against suspect Nana Appiah Mensah, popularly known as Nam 1,” a post by Ghana Police Service on X read.
As per previous reports, the funds were earmarked for distribution to customers who had complied with the company’s procedures and validation requirements during the settlement phase.
Qualified customers are strongly advised to follow the specified dates established during the submission of required documentation to facilitate a seamless and effective disbursement of their funds.
Menzgold is reportedly preparing to provide the police with a list of customers slated to receive payments.
