Daniel Owusu Koranteng, the primary suspect in the heinous murder of esteemed investigative journalist Ahmed Suale, is slated to appear in court today, Wednesday, April 2, 2025. This pivotal court appearance follows his recent arrest, as he confronts charges related to the brutal killing of Suale, a fearless journalist renowned for his unwavering dedication to exposing corruption in Ghanaian politics.
Ahmed Suale, a key member of the investigative team at Tiger Eye PI, was callously assassinated in January 2019 in Madina, Accra. The shocking killing sparked widespread national and international outrage, as Suale had been instrumental in uncovering high-profile corruption cases, earning him a reputation as a champion of truth and accountability.
Law enforcement sources reveal that Daniel Koranteng, also known by the alias Akwasi Amakye, was allegedly in close proximity to the crime scene at the time of the shooting. Suale was ambushed while driving and shot at close range by unknown assailants, in a senseless act of violence that sent shockwaves throughout the nation.
In addition to facing murder charges, Koranteng is also accused of betrayal, with reports suggesting that he allegedly provided Suale’s photographs to a politician linked to the crime, prior to the killing. This egregious breach of trust has only served to intensify calls for justice and press freedom in Ghana.
Undoubtedly , as authorities move forward with legal proceedings against Koranteng, the case has reignited impassioned demands for accountability and an end to impunity. The Ghanaian Journalists Association (GJA) has hailed the police for their efforts in arresting and prosecuting Koranteng, marking a significant step towards justice for Suale and his family.
