The United Nations in Ghana has expressed revulsion at the blatant murder of undercover journalist Ahmed Hussein-Suale.
Suale, as he was called by close colleagues and family, was gunned down on January 16 close to his residence in Madina, Accra, by two unidentified men.
The international body per a statement issued in Accra, expressed its “strong condemnation” of the killing through its Acting Resident Coordinator, Ms. Sylvia Lopez-Ekra.
“The United Nations in Ghana reiterates the message of the UN Secretary-General, António Guterres, on the occasion of the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists: “When journalists are targeted, societies as a whole pay a price .This should not become the new normal".
“Protecting the fundamental right to freedom of expression also requires that journalists and media workers be protected, and action be taken to proactively promote their safety”, said the United Nations in the statement, and extended “sincere condolences to Mr. Hussein-Suale’s family, friends and well-wishers”.

@ John. what is wrong with you. You are also among the corruption promoters right? Anas started this work under NDC and no one criminalized his work as soon as his work touched Ken and his NPP he has now turned to a criminal. God is watching. NPP always pretending to be fighting corruption. You can no longer deceive us with your lip service.
I can assure you that bringing police back on road will help. Handheld scanners and sort scanners can help the police to control people and their bagges where necessary. Is the ECOWAS helping Ghana?
they should go away. why won't they condemn it when they are using these guys to carry out their agenda of destroying us. why didn,t they condemn their mode of investigations? how can you go and set someone up and say he/she is corrupt? is this the way to fight corruption. the only person that I wish we protect very well is Manasseh Azuri. He doesn't cover his face but exposes corruption at top levels and is still living. U claim to be undercover and you have no back up plan after your cover was blown. are u not ***barred word***? the guy died a stup1?d death if this murder has anything to do with his work. his decision not to relocate from the place is a clear indication that his masters have used him as bait to implicate someone. it was a very stup1?d decision on his part not to move from Madina.
