Appiah Mensah who is popularly known as NAM1 was reportedly nabbed in the oil rich country yesterday for fraud.

However, Starr FM claims checks at the headquarters of the Dubai Police revealed that there's no one by that name on their books.

“We have not arrested any Ghanaian national with that name [Nana Appiah Mensah] in our system,” A Dubai intelligence officer told Starr News’ Ibrahim Alhassan.

Yesterday, the online portal of the Daily Statesman newspaper, quoting sources from Interpol, reports that Nana Appiah was arrested following a complaint by a gold dealer who alleges that he has been duped by the Ghanaian.
