Accra: An Accra High Court has directed that proceedings in the ongoing criminal trial of Nana Appiah Mensah, widely known as NAM1, be conducted virtually. This development was shared on X by DEK360 on Monday, March 30, 2026. The court's decision marks a significant shift in the trial process for the former CEO of Menzgold.
According to Ghana Web, the court received a medical note from the accused, which played a pivotal role in the decision to hold virtual hearings. The medical note included a doctor's recommendation that NAM1 avoid strenuous activity. This medical concern prompted the court to adjust the format of the trial, ensuring that NAM1 can participate without compromising his health.
The trial is part of a prolonged legal battle stemming from the collapse of Menzgold, a situation that reportedly defrauded thousands of customers. As the trial progresses, the High Court has instructed NAM1 to begin presenting his defence. This directive indicates a movement forward in a case that has captured significant public attention due to its implications for many affected individuals.
