The police shouldn’t have sent my GHS2.5m to the BoG - NAM1 cries

He said the decision by the police to send an amount of GHS2.5m he gave to them to the Bank of Ghana is disappointing.

Speaking on Morning Starr with Francis Abban Wednesday, NAM 1 further stated that if the police cannot assist in the distribution of the money he will make his own security arrangements and have the money distributed to customers.

“The intent was not to give money to the police to distribute. We went to the police because we wanted security. The agreement with the police was to have them provide a desk where we could distribute the money.

“I am surprised the money has been deposited at the Bank of Ghana. I will go back to the police and ask them to give the money back to me because that was not the arrangement we had,” he added

Mr. Mensah further stated that he “only contacted the police to give us security” adding that “the court has no responsibility to pay my customers.”

According to the police, they deposited the money on the advise of the Attorney General and the Minister for Justice.
