I knew NAM 1 was innocent from day one – Deputy Attorney General

Deputy Attorney General, Mr. Joseph Dindiok Kpemka is elated that Nana Appiah Mensah alias NAM 1 of gold dealership firm, Menzgold has been exonerated of criminal charges in Dubai on Tuesday, 9th April and asked to be paid several millions of dollars owed him by an Emirate gold firm.

Mr Joseph Kpemka who was speaking to Blakk Rasta on Taxi Driver, Ghana’s flagship late afternoon radio show on Zylofon 92.1 Fm monitored by MyNewsGh.com, disclosed that he knew the businessman was innocent from the onset.

It would be recalled that in January this year Mr Kpemka led a high powered government delegation to Dubai to press for the extradition of the Menzgold boss.

Other members of the delegation were a representative from the Economic Organised Crime Office (EOCO), the Bureau of National Investigation (BNI) and National Security who sought to understand the case against NAM1 over there and a possible extradition to Ghana to face justice.

He disclosed he was however,shocked to learn that NAM1 was totally innocent of what he being was accused of in Dubai and predicted a quick closure to the case so that Menzgold customers could have a breather.

Several Ghanaians who sought for NAM1 head accused the Deputy Attorney General of complexity and refused to take his story.

As NAM1 prepares to return home, many are the exceptions. Could this be the end of the long Menzgold brouhaha? Several sections of the country are already jubilating in anticipation of ‘Pay Day.’
