Information Minister Kojo Oppong Nkrumah has accused the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service of shedding light on the killing of investigative journalist Tiger Eye PI & # 39; , Ahmed Suale.
He says that the perpetrators must not go unpunished.
According to him, this issue is of national and international interest and should not be neglected.
Kojo Oppong Nkrumah made the appeal following a speech by the head of Tiger Eye PI's investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas, at the recent World Conference on Freedom of the Press, questioning the government on its defense of the lives of journalists.
"It is very disappointing to see that a case as prestigious as that which brings us back to the freedom of the press has remained unresolved. [Police] tell us, they have this evidence that they always consider it an active case on which they work. At the highest level, the instructions are clear: you have to get to the bottom of things because it is in our collective interest. "
The late Ahmed Suale was killed seven months ago in Madina in January 2019 by strangers. This unfortunate incident has not been very well received by journalists in Ghana and abroad. International organizations have even offered to hunt down the killers, but no positive results have been achieved.
Although the police arrested a "suspected suspect", the case still has not been treated with such seriousness.
The information gathered indicates that 13 people, including Assin Central MP, Kennedy Agyapong, and TI Eye PI's investigation team leader, Anas Aremeyaw Anas, were arrested in connection with the murder of Ahmed Suale, but the outcome of this interrogation is not clear. .
However, "a suspect" who was linked to the horrific incident during his arrest was released since the police said he was innocent.
Speaking at the World Conference on Freedom of the Press in London, Anas Aremeyaw, who expressed disappointment, said that this horrible incident could have been avoided, but that the government chose to turn a deaf ear .
"There have been developments in the city that are very disturbing. I remember the death of my colleague, the diligent journalist Ahmed Hussien Suale. "
It will be recalled that in a secret video "Number 12" broadcast several months ago, it appeared that the Ghana Football Federation (GFA), then in office, was facing a problem of corruption that led to the The ban on former GFA president Kwesi Nyantakyi at the dissolution of the country's football federation. During this period, Kennedy Agyapong attended a live broadcast on his private television network, questioning the methods of journalist Ace and revealing the identity of the late Ahmed Suale.
The World Conference on Freedom of the Press was organized by both the British and Canadian governments.
