By: Our Team of Researchers

Today, we breach the conventional way of reportage; and it’s for a purpose. The Today Newspaper believes this is one story that has caught global attention and for people to understand the real issues involved; we adopted a special questions and answers approach for every interested party, including even passive observers to understand the intentions and interests of parties that went on that destructive, but futile adventure to ruin one of Ghana’s most distinguished entrepreneurs of our time. Please read on.

On November 23, 2021, USA District Judge Thomas M. Durkin dismissed in its entirety a lawsuit filed against Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom, his wife and children, directors and management members of one of his American companies. 

The complaint was filed by Birim Group, a California Limited Liability Company whose sole member is a Ghanaian born lawyer, Kwasi Asiedu. The dismissal was so definitive as to stop other copycat lawsuits.

The basis for the complaint or lawsuit is the acquisition of a claim made by one Mavis Amanpene-Sekyere and another about an alleged inability by one Groupe Nduom company to honour her request for the redemption of an investment she made with the company.

The lawsuit filed in the USA alleged money laundering and fraud citing $63 million dollars supposedly, transferred illegally to the USA. The lawsuit got the attention of the Bank of Ghana Governor Ernest Addison who called it a “vindication”. 

So damaging were these allegations that Groupe Nduom and its companies have suffered huge and unprecedented financial losses and unimaginable damages to their credibility the world over.  

Many people have wondered who the people are behind the lawsuit and what their real intentions were. They have wondered, if Mavis Amanpene-Sekyere knew all along what the Birim Group was going to do with the investment that was “acquired”. 

Others have wondered if the Birim Group paid her for the investment that they alleged to have acquired.  The Today newspaper has done some research and brings to the public some answers to questions raised by the reading public. We begin with Mavis Amanpene-Sekyere.
