The Accra High Court has directed the Chief Executive Officer of Menzgold Ghana Limited, Nana Appiah Mensah(NAM1), to be prepared to continue his evidence in defence remotely on Wednesday, April 1, 2026.

The directive was issued on Monday, March 30, 2026, after the court received a medical report indicating that the accused should be excused from “maximum physical exertion” for a period of three weeks.

NAM1, listed as the first accused (A1), is standing trial alongside his companies, Menzgold Ghana Limited (A2) and Brew Marketing Consult (A3). The three are facing 35 out of 39 charges in the ongoing Menzgold case.

The accused persons were expected to appear in court on Monday for the continuation of NAM1’s evidence in his defence. However, his absence prompted the court to consider alternative arrangements following the submission of the medical report.

Presiding judge, Justice Sedinam Awo Kwadam, noted that proceedings could continue without the physical presence of the accused, stating that “we are able to do electronic evidence.”

The court subsequently ruled that the case will proceed remotely on April 1, allowing NAM1 to continue his defence virtually.

NAM1 and his two companies have pleaded not guilty to multiple charges, including the unlawful sale of gold, operating a deposit-taking business without a license, inducement to invest, 19 counts of defrauding by false pretence, seven counts of fraudulent breach of trust, and gold laundering.

The case forms part of ongoing legal proceedings stemming from the collapse of Menzgold Ghana Limited, which left thousands of investors affected.
