Today, January 16, 2025 marks the 6th year anniversary of the murder of a Ghanaian investigative journalist who worked with the Tiger Eye PI, Ahmed Suale.
Ahmed Suale was tragically shot and killed in a ride-by shooting near his home in Madina, a suburb of the capital, Accra.
Eyewitnesses said he was killed by two men who fired at the car from close range as it slowed for a junction. The first bullet hit Hussein-Suale in the neck and the car accelerated, crashing into a storefront. One of the gunmen calmly approached the driver’s side and fired two shots through the broken window directly into Hussein-Suale’s chest. Then he turned to those watching, smiled, and raised a finger to his lips.
It is believed that the 31 year old Ahmed was assassinated due to the investigative work he did with the Tiger Eye PI team and Anas Aremeyaw Anas.
His death came after the Tiger Eye team aired its famous Number 12 expose, which exposed widespread corruption in African football which led to the end of the illustrious career of the then Ghana Football Association (GFA) President, Kwesi Nyantakyi.
When the expose aired, then Assin Central Member of Parliament (MP), Kennedy Agyapong began a campaign against the Anas team calling for Anas to be hanged.
Weeks after the expose aired, he used his television station to disclose the identity of Ahmed Suale and the neighborhood in which he lived, saying, “If you meet him somewhere, slap him… beat him,” he said. “Whatever happens, I’ll pay.”
Investigations into the death of Ahmed are still ongoing with no lead into the identity of his killers so far.
