Businessman Nana Appiah Mensah – NAM1, is believed to have jumped his bail condition and relocated first to Nigeria through the Togo Border and then to South Africa where his family has already been since the news of the Menzgold<\/g> scam broke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nana Appiah Mensah was first invited in October 2018 for questioning \nat the EOCO. Later on Wednesday, November 21, he was picked up by the \nBureau of National Investigations where he was granted bail under \ncertain conditions. Our source refused to disclose the full conditions. \nIt is now believed that he has jumped bail and has not reported three \ntimes in a row while his phone and other forms of contacts are \nunreachable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MyNewsGh.com is reliably informed government intends to use all \navailable state resources at its disposal to ensure NAM 1 is brought to \njustice for duping unsuspecting Ghanaians. Another source at the \nEconomic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) with knowledge on the matter \nhinted this portal that NAM1 broke his bail about 8 days ago and a \none-week ultimatum was given him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After this, it is expected that the government will use whatever \nresources at its disposal to smoke him out from wherever he will be \nhiding in the world. Our source refused to state whether NAM 1\u2019s \npassport was actually seized or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While this news came to our attention about a week ago, our source \nwarned against publication as it had a potential of causing Menzgold \ncustomers to react in a disturbing way following their notification of \npolice of their protests in Kumasi, and in Tarkwa this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But influential Nephew of President Akufo-Addo active in government \nbut without a portfolio, Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko has now confirmed for\n the public the news of the NAM\u2019s running away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI understand the owner of Menzgold, Nana Appiah Mensah, has breached\n his bail condition and absconded. We can\u2019t allow those who allegedly \ndupe people with such impunity to get away with it that easily.\u201d He \nsaid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLet\u2019s smoke them out, wherever they are, and throw the book at them!\n While I will not want a pesewa of my tax money to be involved with this\n Ponzi matter, I believe majority of Ghanaians will agree with me that \nthe law must come down heavily on those who use such schemes to destroy \nthe lives of many people.\u201d He added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is suspected that NAM 1 first moved to Nigeria via Togo with the \nhelp of some immigration officials and from Nigeria, he found his way \nback to South Africa where his wife and children are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NAM1\u2019s mother, sister, wife and son<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, his mother and sister are in Ghana doing some asset \nrecovery with some particular clients of Menzgold. They were last \nsighted at Nima Police Station where they had caused the arrest of one \ncustomer over breach of contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has however moved his nuclear family out of Ghana for fear of their safety as MyNewsGh.com authoritatively reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Appiah Mensah moved his son and wife, Roselyn out of Ghana to South Africa where he owns a stream of real estate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His wife\u2019s fashion and jewellery shop, Rozy\u2019s Collections in Accra \nhas been closed and items emptied. Neighbours say the shop was emptied \nby a team who came around at night with 3 Tundras and one KIA pickup \nabout two weeks ago to pack the shop wares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His mother, Mrs Eva Brew and sister, Abigail Mensah who played prominent roles in the business are however in the country chasing their own debtors, MyNewsGh.com learnt. Nana Appiah Mensah is believed to have named Brew Marketing Ltd, where Menzgold customers bought their fake gold, after his mother, Mrs Eve Brew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
