Minister Designate for Information, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, says the assumptions surrounding the death of Tiger Eye’s investigative journalist is because the Police has not been successful in getting to the bottom of the matter.
Undercover investigator and a key member of Anas Aremeyaw Anas’ Tiger Eye Private Investigations team, Ahmed Hussein-Suale was shot dead by unknown assailants on 17th January 2019.
Ahmed was killed at Madina in Accra while driving home by unidentified men riding a motorbike.
No personal belonging of the late Ahmed Suale, who was shot three times twice in the chest and another in the neck, was taken by the gunmen.
A disheveled Anas who confirmed the sad development to Atinkaonline a year ago, grieved the loss of a core team member and a brother hardly able to compose.
Ahmed was one of Tiger Eye’s journalists whose photographs Member of parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong circulated in his ‘who watches the watchman’ anti-Anas video documentary and called on the public to deal with for a handsome reward.
Speaking to the Appointments Committee of Parliament on Thursday, February 18th, 2021, Minister Designate for Information, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, explained that many Ghanaians are operating with the assumption that the unfortunate thing that happened to Ahmed Suale is as a result of his work as an undercover Journalist.
According to him, there are instances that Journalists have claimed attacks which turn out to be false and there are instances where Journalists have been attacked but has got nothing to do with their works as journalists.
“The reason for which it is important to validate is so that we can all come to a certain clear understanding of what the truth is and proceeds from there to resolve the consequential matters. So in the case of Ahmed Suale, we are operating on that assumption. That is why anytime I meet my colleague the Interior Minister, I ask him if there have gotten to the bottom of the case, this is a matter that we have to deal with and find the perpetrators of the crime.“, he told the Appointments Committee.
