Ghana Consul General in Dubai, Gifty Bukari has revealed that embattled CEO of defunct gold dealership firm Menzgold, Nana Appiah Mensah aka NAM 1, intended looking for money to pay aggrieved customers in Ghana prior to his re-arrest by INTERPOL in Dubai.
NAM 1 is being held for a misdemeanour charge over a US$23-million deal gone bad. On the 4th of March, 2019, he was granted bail but due to the red alert notice on him, he was rearrested on the instructions of Interpol.
A Dubai-based businessman reported Mr Mensah for fraud in May 2018. Unaware that he was on the Dubai police’s wanted list, he went to the Emirates with the hope of receiving a huge amount of money due him as a result of his earlier transactions with the Emirati, only to be arrested when he presented his passport to undergo immigration formalities.
The Director-General of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service at a press briefing last week revealed that Nana Appiah Mensah cannot be extradited to Ghana now even though he is on bail in Dubai.
According to the CID Boss, NAM 1 can only be brought to Ghana after the completion of his trial in UAE.
There have been several demonstrations by aggrieved customers demanding for the release of locked up investment with Menzgold.
Speaking to Akwasi Nsiah on Kasapa News, Ghana Consul General in Dubai, Gifty Bukari stated that her briefing from the Officer in charge of consulate issues who has keenly followed the NAM 1 case suggest the latter is hopeful of settling his indebtedness to the customers.
“When NAM 1 had the bail my briefing is that he planned to look for monies to come down to Ghana and pay the teeming customers but Interpol was also on his neck. As soon as he was granted bail Interpol got him arrested. He’s hopeful of being done with the case in Dubai soon, then after he will attend to the several thousands of Menzgold customers because he himself is not a free man. He’s helpless now as he is on remand.”
Meanwhile NAM 1 has won his court case in Dubai.
The court which pronounced judgment Tuesday morning has also ordered the company, with which he had had issues with, to pay him all outstanding debts, reports say
NAM 1 has been in Dubai cell since November 2018 over a gold deal gone bad.

I sincerely hope when there is a serious issue being discussed these NDC guys would stay way from commenting because it is either they can't understand or can't read at all. Any time they try to get involved they miscontrue it and say something diametrically opposite.

Kwame, ndc don't learn or don't understand English. What is the meaning of interpol arrest? does that mean he has to be sent to Ghana when a foreign country has ordered his arrest by interpol! and this article makes it clear they didn't know he was in the hands of Dubai authorities that's why he was re-arrested! no wonder ndc don't understand anything and don't even know touching government installations and setting them ablaze cost the nation but not Akufo Addo! agy*imifuo, nkwa*seafuo. You think burning down gas pipe lines and other sources of power will cost Akufo Addo, it is the nation you hate so much is the loser and do you expect the people to vote for you? what brains do you people have about nation building? is this your best? Akufo Addo is not a mince meat for the ndc to munch! whatever you in the ndc do he us the chosen beloved president of the people if the republic of Ghana! We love him and will vote massively overwhelmingly to retain the seat to move his country forward. Go find some land somewhere near East Africa and establish your republic of the ndc for our country Ghana will never be handed to you!
so if he was rearrested due to the red alert on him from interpol then why is he not been sent back to Ghana? I pity these customers bcos the powers protecting the guy are beyond them. they shd forget their monies.
