Lawyer Maurice Ampaw, who forms part of a tall list of customers who have<\/g> their monies locked up at Menzgold<\/g>, has described as fake the arrest<\/g> warrant issued by a circuit court for the arrest of CEO of the embattled<\/g> gold dealership firm, Nana Appiah Mensah, affectionately called<\/g> \u201cNAM 1\u201d.

He is not the first to say this as earlier on Asempa FM\u2019s political talk show<\/g> Ekosii Sen, the General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Johnson Asiedu Nketia reacted in a similar manner.

Speaking on Asempa FM\u2019s budding weekend entertainment show dubbed \u201cZoblazo\u201d with host Prince Tsegah, Lawyer Maurice Ampaw noted that some invalidities<\/g> in the warrant that had tendencies to render it \u201cbogus and incompetent<\/g>\u201d.

An Accra Circuit Court on Wednesday issued a warrant for the arrest of the embattled Menzgold founder, NAM1 and two others, Rose Tetteh believed to be his wife and his sister Benedicta Mensah for defrauding customers by \u201cfalse pretence.\u201d

The issuance of the warrant comes on the back of a demonstration in the Ashanti Regional capital, Kumasi, by some angry Menzgold customers who burnt<\/g> vehicle tyres and blocked a major road in demand of their funds.

But Lawyer Maurice Ampaw throwing more light on some technicalities said the following:

\u201cThe warrant was done in a haste. The Supreme Court is on vacation hence no<\/g> judge has resumed work. We can\u2019t use the president against NAM1 but rather<\/g> they had to use the state to declare NAM1 wanted. The president cannot<\/g> be a party to a criminal suit. It amounts to abuse.

\u201cThis is an old type of warrant. The registrar of the circuit court must be<\/g> asked if he is part of the conspiracy. Under which influence do you sign<\/g> such a document knowing its<\/g> coming from a Supreme Court [on vacation<\/g>]. How can the also president be in this matter?\u201d he queried.

Ask the way forward, Lawyer advised the Menzgold<\/g> customers not to jubilate because \u201cthere is nothing good that will come out of NAM1\u2019s arrest.\u201d

According to Lawyer Maurice, the \u201carrest will lead to bail and after it\u2019s all about adjournment\u201d so he has advised the customers to rather \u201cpush government<\/g> to sit down and reason together with NAM1 to look into his business so we know how to go forward.\u201d

He queried, \u201chow many people can survive 5 years if Menzgold<\/g> is in court?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
