Tiger Eye Private Investigations has denied reports of alleged neglect of the second wife and family of slain operative of the private investigative team, Ahmed Hussein-Suale.
A Press Statement by Tiger Eye P.I indicated it has been in constant contact with the family and has given the immediate family the necessary support including the second wife who remarried after the death of her ex-husband Ahmed Suale.
“Tiger Eye P.I. secured a business contract for the two wives to invest their portion of the lump sum to cater for themselves in the long term.
“Tiger Eye took responsibility for the education of all the 4 children. To date, Tiger Eye pays for the education of the children,” said the statement by Tiger Eye P.I.
Ahmed Hussein Suale, who was with the Tiger Eye Private Investigations, was murdered by an unknown assailant in his vehicle on January 16, 2019, at Madina.
He was part of a team of undercover journalists led by renowned investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas.
He was shot three times, twice in the chest and another in the neck late night at Madina in Accra while he was driving home by unidentified men.
The murder came shortly after the Number-12 documentary was released. It also came after the Assin Central MP on live TV incited the public to launch attacks on the journalist.
