217 of our members are dead – Menzgold customers cry to Mahama

Former President John Dramani Mahama has been approached by the leadership of customers of the now-defunct Menzgold Company Limited, seeking his help in retrieving their funds locked in the illicit gold dealership and investment company.

The customers have suffered since the company was shut down in 2018, with 217 people dying and some suffering from blindness and mental illness.

The customers are now appealing to the former President to lead them in seeking a bailout from the state to alleviate their plight.

During a meeting with the former President in his Cantonments office on Friday, Mr Fred Forson, leader and spokesperson for the group, made an emotional plea to Mr.

I am sure everybody will attest that it was the resilience of the customers — we kept on pressing, pressing — and now the Attorney-General has moved the matter from the lower court to the High Court

In response to the plea of the Menzgold customers, President Mahama pledged to join them in bringing attention to their plight

The customers are hopeful that with the support of the former President, they will be able to retrieve their funds and recover from the losses they have suffered.
