Ahmed Hussein-Suale (5 December 1987 – 16 January 2019) was a Ghanaian undercover investigative journalist and an associate of fellow Ghanaian investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas.[2] He died on Wednesday, 16 January 2019 when unidentified men on motorbikes shot him three times, twice in the chest and once in his neck in his vehicle.[3][4]

Notable investigative works

[edit]

Ahmed was a member of the investigative firm Tiger Eye Private Investigations which investigated corruption in the Ghana Football Association named Number 12, which led to the removal of office and a lifetime ban of its President Kwesi Nyantakyi.[5] In response, Kennedy Agyapong – a Ghanaian member of parliament – called for retaliation against Hussein-Suale.[3]

He was also part of an investigative journalism piece in collaboration with the BBC into human body parts sold for ritual magic in Malawi.[6]

Assassination

[edit]

Ahmed was murdered on 16 January 2019 in his vehicle by two unidentified men on motorbikes.[7] He was shot twice in the chest and once in the neck.[8]

On 16 January 2020, a renowned international journalist, Guillaume Perrier published findings of a private investigation into the murder of Ahmed Hussein Suale as part of Forbidden Stories. He alleges that the Ghana Police Service failed to follow up on a key lead.[9][10]
