A Plus threatens to expose Ahmed Suale’s killer in 48 hrs
The Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central Kwame Asare-Obeng, popularly known as A Plus, has asked the Ghana Police Service to update the public on the murder investigation of Ahmed Suale within 48 hours.
According to him, if the Ghana Police fails to do so, he would exercise his authority as a Member of Parliament (MP) to summon the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to brief Parliament on the case.
In a Facebook post, the new MP expressed frustration over the lack of transparency on the part of the police towards the case after he provided information to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) when he honoured their invitation in July 2024.
“It is critical that the CID director updates the public on the progress of the investigation. At this point, it appears the matter has been sidelined.
“If no update is provided within 48 hours, I will invoke my authority as a Member of Parliament to formally summon the Ghana Police Service to brief Parliament on this case,” he said.
A Plus also threatened to disclose what he knows about the case, including the name of the alleged perpetrator, a former minister, on social media if all other avenues fail.

“Should that fail, I will utilise my Facebook and other social media platforms to update the nation on what I know about the matter, which shall include the name of the alleged perpetrator,” he warned.
Background to Suale’s murder
The unresolved brutal murder of the investigative journalist by unidentified assailants remains a troubling issue.
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 Ghana into debate, panic, and uncertainty.
The police mounted a manhunt for the unknown assailants, who were said to have been riding an unregistered motorcycle.
Concerns about media freedom and the safety of journalists were raised, accusers arose, and the accused were questioned accordingly by law.
But perpetrators have 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).
