The coalition of Aggrieved Menzgold customers have taken the CEO of the embattled gold firm, Menzgold, popularly known as NAM1 to the cleaners for sipping a bottle of champagne worth GHC1,550.
According to the coalition, the CEO has failed to settle the aggrieved customers as announced by the CEO himself after the Accra circuit court’s ruling.
Crying out to the public, the coalition said the CEO was seen comfortably sipping a champagne worth $269 (1,550ghc) but has not paid a single customer.
