Young content creator Elvis Tefe recently embarked on a visit to the Kasoa branch of the defunct Menzgold Ghana Limited.
In a video he shared on his official TikTok page, the huge building appeared to be in bad shape and facing deterioration after being completely abandoned following the widely publicised financial scandal involving the defunct Menzgold founder and CEO, Nana Appiah Mensah, in 2018.
The compound of the building looked dirty and bushy, as weeds had grown and covered large portions of the tiled floors.

Some cracks were also identified on the building, with the gates and wall fence looking rusty. According to content creator Elvis Tefe, some alleged victims and citizens burglarised the Menzgold Kasoa building and absconded with multiple air conditioners, leading to the police intervening in the matter.
The current state of the Menzgold Ghana building in Kasoa sparked mixed reactions on social media.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) shut down the gold trading firm's investment operations with immediate effect for contravening the Securities Industry Act. Their licenses were also revoked.
Nana Appiah Mensah (NAM1), his wife, and his sister were accused of using Menzgold to defraud more than 16,000 people of GH¢1.68 billion.
The Government of Ghana under former President Nana Akufo-Addo charged NAM1 and his companies with 39 counts of various offences on August 30, 2023 including unlicensed gold sales, unauthoried deposit-taking, investment inducement, defrauding by false pretences, fraudulent breach of trust, and money laundering involving over GH₵340 million.
Nana Appiah Mensah was put on a criminal trial some years ago. He later filed an application at the Court of Appeal to halt the trial after the High Court ordered him and his legal team to open their defence in the case in 2024.
On Monday, May 19, 2025, a three-member panel of the Court of Appeal unanimously dismissed the application. He subsequently filed an application with the Supreme Court with the matter recently been adjourned to July 29, 2025.
