The Accra High Court has adjourned the virtual testimony of Nana Appiah Mensah, popularly known as NAM1, over a faulty video system.

According to reports, the NAM1 case has been adjourned to April 16, 2026.

The Accra High Court had earlier directed that the embattled Chief Executive Officer of the defunct Menzgold Ghana Limited, Nana Appiah Mensah, commonly known as NAM1, the ongoing criminal trial, be switched to virtual/electronic means.

Reports suggest the court decision follows, acknowledged receipt of a medical excuse from NAM1 with a note from the doctor that the accused refrain from ‘maximal physical exertion’.

In a post shared by TV3, it stated, “The Accra High Court has notified lawyers of defunct Menzgold CEO Nana Appiah Mensah, also known as NAM1, that the proceedings will be switched to virtual/electronic means.

This was after the court acknowledged receipt of a medical excuse from NAM1 with a note from the doctor that the accused 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”.

Some Ghanaians reacting to the news of the adjournment due to a faulty video system stated, “So, the trickster Nam 1 is allowed to give virtual testimony to the court, but Ken Ofori Atta will not be allowed to give virtual testimony to the OSP. Wow!”.

A netizen added, “Gh juditiary de33 eii.

Even the people he duped most of them passed. Yet Gh Judicial is still holding on to this case.

Just recently, a hunter who just wanted to put food on families table got arrested and sentenced to 3 years imprisonment, within a month.

Herrh, Bros, Let’s Not Be Poor”.

“Ah, is this guy still having an ongoing court issue? My friend’s mum whose pension money got locked up in Menzgold koraa, has died like 5 years dis”, another X user added.

It will be recalled that Menzgold Ghana Limited, owned by NAM1, was offering high-return gold collectable investments.

However, it operated without the required licences from the Bank of Ghana and the Securities and Exchange Commission, despite repeated warnings from regulators.

Menzgold Ghana Limited was then shut down by the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2018, leaving thousands of Ghanaians with locked-up funds.

NAM1 is now facing charges including unlicensed gold trading, fraud, and money laundering.

The case has been delayed for years by multiple appeals by NAM1.

Reacting to the decision, Fredrick Forson, the Chairman and Convener of the Menzgold Customers, welcomed the ruling, saying. “Our understanding is that the High Court trial can now proceed.

Today, we were also told that they will file their reasons on the 17th of this month [December 2025]. So, as directed earlier, we will return to the High Court on the 16th, which is next week. We are very happy, and we appreciate what the court has done, just that it has taken long.
