Though the service allowed the company some grace period in which to sell some of its goods from a bonded warehouse to defray the indebtedness, the company treated the service with contempt. Mr. Ntiamoah is said to be sending a message to all defaulters that in the coming weeks the axe would be falling on them too. For the avoidance of doubt, the service is taking advertisers announcements in the local media.
