The family of Ahmed Suale-Hussein, the investigative journalist who was shot dead on January 16, 2019, has said he was killed by people who want to continue to loot the country’s resources and cheat people.
They, therefore, appealed to civil society groups, the security agencies, journalists and foreign missions in the country to help unravel the mystery behind his murder.
At a press conference at Madina in Accra on Sunday, the family also called on the government and the security agencies to make every effort to bring the perpetrators to book.
The family used the press conference to thank individuals and groups that found time to commiserate with it after Suale-Hussein’s murder.
A family spokesman, Mr Mustapha Iddrisu, said members of the family were ready and willing to cooperate and work with the security agencies to get to the bottom of the matter.
“The family is pursuing this matter in order to support the Ghanaian people to avert any further occurrence on other well-meaning Ghanaians whose photographs were shown alongside that of our son.
“We call on the good people of Ghana to take their personal security seriously by taking note of strange and unusual movements and occurrences in and around their houses, neighbourhoods, communities and towns,’’ Mr Iddrisu said.
Outrage
Suale-Hussein was a key member of Tiger Eye PI, the investigative team of the ace undercover journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas.
He was shot three times by unidentified men riding a motorbike — twice in the chest and once in the neck — while he was driving home at Madina in Accra on Wednesday, January 16, 2019.
His murder attracted widespread condemnation from President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA), the United Nations (UN), Amnesty International, among other bodies and the public.
