26th GIJ awards - Whoever killed Ahmed Suale does not deserve to live - Chairman of NMC

Whoever killed journalist Ahmed Suale, does not deserve to live, the Chairman of the National Media Commission, Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh has said.

Addressing the 26th GJA Awards ceremony in Accra on Saturday night on the theme, “Walking the path towards Ghana’s economic recovery; the role of the media,” Mr Boadu-Ayeboafoh said it was worrying that the case of Suale has not been solved as of now.

He also recalled the murder of Samuel Ennin in 2007, who was the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the GJA, which has also not been resolved as of now.
In January 2019, Ahmed Suale was shot thrice in the chest and neck and died instantly.

The gruesome murder of the private investigator occurred at Madina in Accra. News of his murder threw the country into a state of debate, panic and uncertainty.

The police mounted a manhunt for the unknown assailants, who were said to have been riding an unregistered motorbike.

Concerns about media freedom and the safety of journalists were raised, accusers arose, and the accused were questioned accordingly by law.
But perpetrators are yet to be brought to book.

He was an undercover operative with the Tiger Eye PI, a private investigations company owned by award-winning journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas.
The late Ahmed Hussein-Suale played a key role in Anas’ ‘Number 12’ documentary, which exposed widespread corruption in the Ghana Football Association (GFA).
