In an audio obtained by GhPage.com, MenzGold security personnel could be heard assaulting reporters at their premises who were later identified as visibly pregnant Nan Akua Mensah-Aborampah from TV3 and Kareen Dodoo from Multimedia.
In the audio, Nana Akua Mensah Aborampah could be heard begging and pleading with the security officers of Menzgold to stop manhandling her because she is pregnant.
From what Ghpage.com has gathered, the two female presenters from the two media giants went to the Menzgold head office at East Legon to seek their reaction to the order of closure from the Securities and Exchange Committee.

The reporters including heavily pregnant Nana Akua Mensah-Aborampah had to engage the security personnel in a scuffle to protect herself and her unborn baby.
