Kennedy Agyapong, MP for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Assin's central district, told the BBC that he did not trust the Ghanaian police for the treatment of the badbadination of Ahmed Suale, an investigator from the private firm Tiger Eye PI.
Ahmed Hussein-Suale, known for his work in the investigation into corruption in Ghanaian football, was shot dead on Wednesday night, 16 January by unidentified badailants in Accra.
His death prompted Ghanaians, including the NDC minority, to demand that Kennedy Agyapong be arrested, following his statements inciting violence against the investigator several months before his death.

Naadi, shocked, asked again if he did not trust the police to find the killers, he said in the affirmative.
"I do not trust the police. No, I do not trust them. I even do better investigations than the police. I do not trust the police. I have a lot of evidence but I do not share anything with anyone. I will serialize them. "
He said that, even though he was saddened by the death and sympathized with Ahmed 's family, he did not regret having publicly displayed the image of Ahmed, all of as he and his team had done to others in their work.
I'm not responsible for Ahmed's death
Mr. Agyepong has already distanced himself from the death of Ahmed Hussein-Suale, explaining that he could not understand why he would have proceeded to the murder of a person without importance in his life.
Former President Jerry John Rawlings, however, blamed the death of the investigator on a man's decision to unmask the investigative journalist and incite violence.

We have to get to the bottom of these dubious circumstances and their implications for our global security, "he tweeted a few days after the murder.
Police hires fingerprint experts on Ahmed Saule's death
President Akufo-Addo instructed the police to bring in Ahmed's killers.

"We are gathering all our resources. There is a team of experts in homicide, ballistics, fingerprinting, interrogation and all other people working on the case. We also work with other sister security agencies so that they can all help us. We also work closely with the family and the TigerEye team so that we can bring these people to face all the rigors of the law. We use the services of a cartographer to give us an idea. "
