NAM1, according to the Prosecutor who read the charge sheet in court on Tuesday, 14 January 2020, fired the shots to ward off his angry customers because he felt threatened by their raucous presence. NAM1 is the complainant in the case. On 9 January 2019, the PRO of Menzgold, Nii Amarh Amarteifio said NAM1 was not behind the Wednesday, 8 January 2019 shooting. “Personally, no; he didn’t [shoot] because I told you that when I got there, I spoke to the police and then they told me the customers told them that they heard gunshots”, Nii Amarh Amarteifio told Benjamin Akakpo on Class91.3FM’s Executive Breakfast show. NAM1 and Menzgold have not been able to pay back their customers’ investments since August 2018 after the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) ordered the company to stop operations over regulatory infractions.
