The High Court has postponed the trial of Nana Appiah Mensah, also known as NAM1, to November 17 in order to give the state more time to complete the submission of witness statements.

Director of Public Prosecutions, Yvonne Atakora Obuobisa, representing the prosecution, requested a two-week extension from the court to gather witness statements due to challenges in obtaining signatures from some of the witnesses.

The defendant facing charges of defrauding over 16,000 people of GH¢1.68 billion, Nana Appiah Mensah, appeared in court without his lawyer, citing a morning emergency. Following deliberation, the Judge rescheduled the case to November 17.

Meanwhile, several Menzgold customers present at the High Court expressed disappointment with the court's decision to adjourn the trial.

An anonymous aggrieved customer, speaking to the media,“the number of people who have died as a result of the Menzgold scandal is pathetic. And because of that, when we come to court and see how this guy talks and behaves, it makes some of us very upset. That is why I was upset with the fact that this guy shows no sign of remorse or regret.”

Asked whether he believed there would be justice, he said, “Definitely. Now that the government has appointed the attorney general to represent the customers, I know that there will be justice.”
