The Criminal Investigations Department (CID), says it has commenced investigations into the murder of Ahmed Hussein-Suale, a member of Anas Aremeyaw Anas’ Tiger Eye PI.
The journalist, Ahmed Hussein-Suale, was reportedly killed by two gunmen on a motorbike who shot into the car he was driving at Madina in Accra.
The Police Service in a statement also asked Ghanaians to volunteer information that will help in apprehending the suspects.
Anas, in a message on Facebook, announced the death of his colleague, saying Ahmed was shot three times; twice in the chest and once in the neck following which he died on the spot. In the video, he sought to link comments made by Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong some months ago to the murder.
Ahmed was a key member of the team that uncovered corruption in Ghana football in July 2018.
He is reported to have been at the forefront of the meeting with the disgraced GFA President, Kwesi Nyantakyi, who was the biggest casualty of the exposé.
He has also cooperated with the BBC on a number of stories including a perilous investigation into ritual murders in Malawi.
President Nana Akufo-Addo has also condemned the killing and said he expects the Police to bring the perpetrators to book.
“I’ve learnt with sadness of the killing of Ahmed Hussein-Suale, an associate of an investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas. I condemn the act unreservedly and extend my condolences to his family. I expect the police to bring to book, as soon as possible, the perpetrators of this heinous crime. Once again, my heartfelt condolences,” said the President.
Attention has turned to Assin Central MP, Kennedy Agyapong in the wake of the killing because the controversial legislator circulated photos of Ahmed and called on persons in Madina to beat up the investigator if he visited his company premises.
Kennedy Agyapong has however insisted that he has nothing to do with the journalist’s death.
“This is what I said. This boy is not relevant to my life. This boy is irrelevant to my life. Why would I be stupid and order people to kill him looking at how far God has brought me? He has not offended me in any way. They should look for those who may be behind this heinous act. This is just cheap propaganda.”

what makes anas and his team believe that Ken is responsible? something is not adding up and investigators should be open minded if they want to get the culprits. the posture of anas and his team is very suspicious. they probably sacrificed the guy to put Ken in trouble. a key witness for Ken in their ongoing court case by name Hafiz died in November last year. i believe the guy was poisoned. I said it be4 that Ken was fighting a lost battle bcos these coffee shop mafias will do everything to bring him down and he must be careful. he thinks he is fighting only anas but its a team of ple including his own party members.
Nhyiraba k ofoz, you are on point, there should be a reward for any one who volunteers information leading to the arrest of these miscreants
Somebody knew that taking Ahmed out would land the Adding MP into trouble and get away with murder,if I were investigating I would forget though not totally the obvious.first who stands to gain notriety n cheap political points in an unsafe insecure environment,did I hear he was out of favour with tiger eye,I suggest they look into Tiger eye AND NDC too,you say you sure yes.2 quickly watch over public figure to stop this grand scheme it's an agenda they tried in 2018,police must be provided active and people must be security conciouswhy tolerate 2 people sitting around an area since morning till almost 10pm no way
if you appoint lazy , unskilled and ***barred word*** people to head security agencies with fo.ols all around in a prospect fine administration, we wont get tired hearing these ***barred word*** statements. what steps did the CID take to resolve this. like usual ghanaian, once its aa week and nothing happens, no big deal, its over but let me advise them, we have good guys out there searching for jobs and the better they employ them after screening to follow issues of national interest at least to a year, the better. isnt it prudent for the CID to at least put say GH1,000,000 award to edge people with facts to come . i wish the family will reject any offer by the government. we can sit down with poor security in the country only to pay families. enough of the ***barred word*** security apointees. what at all does ken dapaah and the likes know about security while kwame addo kufour, kwamina bartles etc are wide available. no wonder the zeroof akufo addo is his security. even in opposition, ya security with captain KODA was fantastic why now you have full control of security and intelligence. lazy unskilled family and relation appointments is the cause. the CID atopa boss must ***barred word***
I suggest the CID should invite Anas Aremeyam Anas for interrogation.I smell something because Anas was quick to attribute this to Hon. Kennedy Agyapong.
