The Chief Executive Officer of Menzgold Ghana Limited, Nana Appiah Mensah, has said that he will go back to the Police to seek a refund of the GH₵2.5 million sent to them for distribution.
According to him, the police have acted wrongly in depositing the money at the Bank of Ghana.
“The intent was not to give money to the police to distribute. We went to the police because we wanted security. The agreement with the police was to have them provide a desk where we could distribute the money.
“I am surprised the money has been deposited at the Bank of Ghana. I will go back to the police and ask them to give the money back to me because that was not the arrangement we had,” Nana Appiah Mensah said on Starr FM.
The police, on the advice of the Office of the Attorney-General, on Friday, October 20, 2023, received an amount of GH₵2.5 million from Nana Appiah Mensah, popularly known as Nam 1.
A press statement released by the police on Tuesday, October 24, 2023, indicated that 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,” the statement said.
The police further noted that the decision on the disbursement of the money will be determined by the court.
