Jemimah Adjare urged customers whose investments have been locked up to verify their names and to also have knowledge about the day of their payment.

This will pave way for the payment of parts of their locked up investment at designated Banks.

DKM was forced to suspend operation in 2015 after an audit report revealed that the company did not have enough assets to back its liabilities to its customers.
