The government is being urged to detain Nana Appiah Mensah, also known as NAM1, who served as the chief executive officer of the now-defunct gold dealership company Menzgold.

The group also warns members against working with NAM1 on any sort of payment arrangements because he is most like to online scammers.

The group’s worries follow a statement from Menzgold management that claimed the company had finished the transaction validation process and would shortly begin paying its consumers.

The group’s representative, Fredrick Forson, told Citi News that the state needs to move quickly to punish Nana Appiah Mensah.

“Nobody should engage him and that is what we are saying because of that document he brought out. What we want the government to do is to arrest him. What is contained in that document is simply the language of scammers, and we will want the government to arrest him.”

The defunct gold trading company issued a statement over the weekend assuring to make payments to its customers saying it had completed the transaction validation process of its customers and was ready to effect payments soon.

“Following the gold trading transactions claims supporting documents collection and vetting exercise initiated; we are happy to announce that validation has successfully been completed,” Menzgold said in its statement.

But the spokespersons of the aggrieved customers furiously dismissed the statement and called for Mr. Appiah’s arrest.
