A heated argument unfolded among panel members during the October 28, 2023, episode of United Showbiz on UTV.
The dispute centred on the Ghana Police Service’s decision to deposit funds received from the CEO of defunct Menzgold Ghana, Nana Appiah Mensah (known as NAM1), into the Bank of Ghana.
Bullgod, one of the panel members, asserted that the police’s actions were questionable.
He believed that the money, originally intended to be directly disbursed to some customers of the now-defunct gold investment firm, should not have been placed with the bank.
Bullgod contended that NAM1’s arrangement with the police involved providing security for the money’s distribution rather than taking control of its distribution.
“He did not give the money to the police to share. He made an agreement with the police that he needed security and therefore sought permission to use their premises to disburse the money. The police said yes, you can come and do that and he sent the money to the police.
“Now, after sending the money to the police, they have gone to deposit the money in their account, saying its an exhibit,” he alleged.
Despite Bullgod’s assertion, his viewpoint was met with disagreement from the other panel members. Arnold Asamoah-Baidoo argued that the money should never have been entrusted to the police and should have been directly disbursed to the customers.
In response, Bullgod proposed that the police should not have agreed to handle the money, but Ola offered a counterargument.
