Daniel Owusu Koranteng, the prime suspect in the murder of investigative journalist Ahmed Suale, is scheduled to appear in court today, Wednesday, April 2. This court appearance comes after his recent arrest, as he faces charges related to the killing of Suale, who was known for his work exposing corruption in Ghanaian politics.
Ahmed Suale, a key member of the investigative team at Tiger Eye PI, was assassinated in January 2019 in Madina, Accra. His shocking killing sparked outrage both nationally and internationally, as Suale had played a crucial role in uncovering high-profile corruption cases. Law enforcement sources indicate that Daniel Koranteng, also known by the alias Akwasi Amakye, was reportedly near the crime scene at the time of the shooting. Suale was ambushed while driving and shot at close range by unidentified assailants.
In addition to the murder charges, Koranteng is also accused of betrayal. Reports suggest that before the killing, he allegedly provided Suale’s photographs to a politician linked to the crime. The case has reignited calls for justice and press freedom in Ghana, as authorities move forward with legal proceedings against the suspect.
