Court to Try NAM 1 Virtually After Doctors Advised Minimal ‘Physical Exertion’ for the Accused

An Accra High Court has decided to proceed virtually with the criminal trial of the former CEO of defunct gold dealership firm Menzgold, Nana Appiah Mensah, also known as NAM1.

The decision was relayed to the lawyers of NAM1 on Monday, March 30, 2026.

It comes after the court received a medical excuse from NAM1 with a note from the doctor advising him to refrain from ‘maximal physical exertion’.

Nana Appiah Mensah is facing multiple counts of defrauding by false pretence, operating a gold firm without a license and money laundering.

He has pleaded not guilty and is on bail.
