Government has condemned the gruesome murder of Ahmed Husein-Suale, an undercover journalist who worked for the Tiger Eye PI organisation headed by Ace Investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas.
Ahmed Husein was shot three times, twice in the chest and another in the neck by gunmen on motorbike in Madina, Accra while driving home.
The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service has commenced investigations to unravel circumstances leading to the murder. The Investigators numbering 15 have picked vital information from the crime scene and are speaking to eyewitnesses.
Some eye witnesses who spoke to Kasapafmonline.com stated that they saw the unidentified assailants lurking around the neighborhood on a motorbike hours before he was killed.
Ahmed was one of Tiger Eye investigators who had his picture circulated by Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong in his ‘who watches the watchman’ anti-Anas video documentary and called on the public to deal ruthlessly with him whenever they came into contact with him, and promised monetary reward for the perpetrators.
Addressing Journalists in Accra, Minister for Information Kojo Oppong Nkrumah said government condemns the heinous and barbaric act urging the security agencies to speed up its investigations into the crime.
“We are aware the Police have begun investigations into the incident. We however urge the security agency to quicken their investigations and bring the perpetrators to book. Violence against Media Practitioners and Journalists must not be tolerated” he added.
Mr. Nkrumah on behalf of government expressed his deep heartfelt condolences to the Family of the victim, the Organisation he worked for and the Media fraternity in general.
