The Ghana Police Service has confirmed earlier reports by Citi News that Menzgold CEO, Nana Appiah Mensah, popularly known as NAM 1, is indeed under arrest in Dubai.
According to the Ghana Police service, they were informed on the arrest by Nana Appiah Mensah by Emirati Officials based in Dubai on Sunday, 13th January.
The statement however revealed that, NAM 1 was arrested as at 7th December 2018.
Many unanswered questions?
But if NAM 1 was arrested as at December 7, 2018 as the Police suggests, then it would be unusual for an arrest warrant to have been issued for his arrest on January 09, 2019, making it appear as if the police did not know his whereabouts.
It is thus unclear why the police kept the information on his supposed arrest to themselves until now.
The clarification from the police follows conflicting media reports about whether NAM 1 has been arrested or not.
His arrest according to the Police statement, is to facilitate investigation into claims that he had been involved in a scandalous gold trading deal in Dubai.
In a statement signed by the Director-General of the Public Affairs, ACP David Eklu, the Ghana Police Service said it is engaging authorities in Dubai on the next steps since there’s already a warrant for his arrest in Ghana.
The Police service further assured the public that due processes will be followed to bring closure on this matter.
