Outspoken private legal practitioner, Maurice Ampaw has vowed to hold onto a vehicle belonging to Nana Appiah Mensah alias NAM 1 until he pays all monies owed him.
He disclosed on a Kumasi-based radio station that he has filed the necessary legal documentation in court that warrants him to keep the said vehicle until the embattled Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of gold dealership firm, Menzgold pays all his locked up cash.
“I am keeping the car because he owes me. When the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) tried to seized the car, I went to court and filed the necessary processes so I am waiting for him to pay me before I release the vehicle. I am not using it and it is not the vehicle I am looking for but my money”, he revealed in an interview monitored by MyNewsGh.com.
