This suspension, effective immediately, was communicated in a press release issued by the leadership of CACM on Tuesday, January 21.

The statement cited multiple violations of the coalition’s principles and policies by Mr. Forson, including unauthorized meetings, unauthorized fundraising, misuse of CACM’s name, an uncooperative attitude, and the unauthorized creation of WhatsApp groups.

According to the release, pastors and elders within CACM attempted to mediate and restore unity between Mr. Forson and the leadership. However, these efforts were reportedly undermined by Mr. Forson’s refusal to attend meetings and his disregard for the reconciliation team.

As a result, he has been banned from speaking on behalf of CACM or using the coalition’s name, logo, or letterhead for any purpose.

The leadership clarified that this decision was made in the best interest of the coalition and its members, emphasizing CACM’s commitment to upholding its integrity and protecting its identity from misuse.

In light of Mr. Forson’s suspension, Ezekiel Annor Akagbo has been appointed as the acting Spokesperson.

Read the full statement below:

This comes on the back of the release of GH¢5 million from the defunct company to the Ghana Police Service for disbursement.

In a statement, the company indicated that, the payment would be limited to clients who have followed the stipulated procedures during the settlement process.

Reacting to this on Adom FM’s morning show, Dwaso Nsem Monday, he said the court will decide on the payment plan.

He indicated that, the leadership of the group will today, Monday, October 23, meet the police and decide their next line of action.

“We did a national validation in 2019 and this year he did it again what happened to the database from 2019? If he has the database from 2019, he should give it to the police so they forward it the court.

We are meeting with the police to confirm the exact amount he gave them. I want to assure customers that Nam 1 has no right to choose or determine who to pay or who not to pay at this moment. Court proceedings will determine who will be paid,” he stated.

He noted that, extensive stakeholder meetings will be held to ensure everyone is satisfied.

Mr. Nyarko therefore urged all aggrieved customers to exercise patience.

“We will hold a meeting near Lapaz Apostolic Church on Sunday after Court on Friday to discuss the disbursement of funds,” he added.

Over 25,000 aggrieved customers have been clamouring for the release of their funds after Menzgold suspended operations in 2018.

The company has since been accused of running a Ponzi scheme and the CEO is currently on trial for fraud.

“If you associate it with religion, you may sort of create a wide forest and it will be difficult for you to even see the trees in it,” he said on JoyNews’ PM Express.

His comment comes on the back of the arrest of Patricia Asiedua, founder of the Heaven Way church, following accusations of scam among others levelled against her by some members of her church and the public.

Some members of the Heaven Way Church in Weija accused their leader of cleverly deceiving them and running away with their monies.

According to the aggrieved congregants, Nana Agradaa promised to double their monies through her special spiritual endowments, however, she failed to do so and absconded with their monies.

Meanwhile, ‘Nana Agradaa’ has denied the allegations.

According to Fred Forson, the police must ensure that Nana Agradaa is dealt with and justice is served her victims.

“So we should treat this thing purely as a scam or as a fraud and the laws must work and the victims must get justice…But I think it appears there are so many weaknesses and loopholes in our system.

“What I am seeing is pure fraud and I would want to urge our security agencies, I mean this matter is straightforward because when you follow Agradaa part one and she announced and said she’s going to bring part two, I’m not a professional but I think these two leads should guide the state, the security agencies to be able to nip this thing in the bud in the shortest possible time.

“This is a premeditated crime, she gave an information that this is what I am going to do and so we should separate religion from this matter and treat it purely as a criminal issue.”
