An Accra High Court has ordered that proceedings in the criminal trial of Nana Appiah Mensah, popularly known as NAM 1, be conducted virtually following medical advice.
The directive was issued after the court received a medical excuse indicating that the accused had been advised to avoid “maximal physical exertion.”
As a result, the court approved a shift to electronic hearings to allow the trial to continue without interruption.
Nana Appiah Mensah, widely known as NAM1, is facing multiple charges, including defrauding by false pretence, operating a gold trading business without a licence, and money laundering.
He has pleaded not guilty to all counts and remains on bail.
The case is part of the long-running prosecution arising from the collapse of Menzgold Ghana Limited, which allegedly left thousands of customers defrauded.
The High Court had earlier directed the accused to open his defence as the trial progressed.
