The late Ahmed Suale is currently dominating Twitter trends, resurfacing in the digital sphere four years after his tragic death.

In a ruthless attack, the assailants shot him twice in the chest and once in the

The Ghana Police Service has been actively investigating his murder, yet no arrests have been made thus far.
Controversially, Member of Parliament Ken Agyapong was implicated in Suale's murder due to his on-air call for physical violence against the journalist, revealing his identity and location.
However, during an interview with Kessben TV on September 18, 2023, Ken Agyapong, the Assin Central MP and a flagbearer hopeful in the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), shifted the spotlight onto Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
He suggested that Dr. Bawumia should be aware of the identity of the person responsible for Ahmed Suale's tragic killing since he heads the security council as the Vice President.
In his own words, Ken Agyapong remarked, "Those who wrote the 10 sins (of Ken Agyapong) in support of Bawumia, he (Bawumia) is the vice president, he is the head of the Police Council, they know the killers of Ahmed Suale, why have they not spoken out? And they are coming to blame me for it."
He continued by questioning the government's competence in national security, stating, "If you are a government and your national security (architecture) does not know the person who killed Ahmed Suale, then it means you don't know what you are doing."
In response to these recent developments, Gideon Boako, the spokesperson for Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia, strongly criticized the comments linking his principal to the death of investigative journalist Ahmed Hussein Suale.
