The Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) has suspended the license of NK Benak Enterprise, a Tier 2 licensed gold buyer, and directed the immediate closure of all its trading outlets nationwide.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, September 16, 2025, GoldBod said the decision followed the company’s alleged involvement in multiple gold-related offences, which led to the arrest of its sole proprietor, Bernard Nkrumah. He is currently facing trial before the High Court.
“Notice is hereby given to all licensed traders, miners, and the general public to desist from trading and/or engaging in any form of gold transaction with NK Benak Enterprise forthwith,” the statement read.
The Board stressed that the move is part of its efforts to enforce regulations in the gold trading sector and ensure accountability and transparency. It further cautioned that similar sanctions will be applied to any entity found in breach of industry rule
