Background
The customers of Menzgold since July last year, have been demanding the payment of their principal investments after the gold dealership company was instructed by the Securities and Exchange Commission to halt its gold trading operations.
Aggrieved customers have since been protesting to demand for their ‘locked up’ cash from the gold firm.
The latest incident was that which happened in Kumasi Tuesday January 8 where several customers besieged the company’s branch in the region. They among other things blocked access to Adum from Amakom road and burnt several tyres to relay their frustrations and demand for their monies.
Several others have issued threats on some major news outlets to register their seriousness about the issue. Some threats indicated a ‘no vote’ for President Nana Akufo-Addo in the 2020 elections if government does not take control of events and ensure their monies are returned.
A known member of the New Patriotic Party, following that particular threat took to his Facebook page to reveal that the businessman had violated his bail terms and was on the run and called for his rearrest.
“I understand the owner of Menzgold, Nana Appiah Mensah, has breached his bail condition and absconded. We can’t allow those who allegedly dupe people with such impunity to get away with it that easily. Let’s smoke them out, wherever they are, and throw the book at them! While I will not want a pesewa of my tax money to be involved with this ponzi matter, I believe majority of Ghanaians will agree with me that the law must come down heavily on those who use such schemes to destroy the lives of many people,” he wrote.
