The Gomoa Central MP Kwame Asare-Obeng aka A Plus has made allegations implicating a former high-profile government minister in the murder of investigative journalist Ahmed Suale.
The MP, in a Facebook post, called on the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service to provide updates on the case or face public disclosure of sensitive details, including the identity of the alleged perpetrator.
Ahmed Suale, a journalist affiliated with the Tiger Eye PI investigative team, was tragically gunned down in Accra in January 2019.
His assassination sparked outrage locally and internationally, with calls for justice and accountability. However, progress on the case has been slow, prompting renewed concern from key public figures like Asare-Obeng.
The MP disclosed that he was invited to the CID headquarters last year to provide information about the case.
During the meeting, he reportedly identified a former minister from the previous government who was allegedly involved in orchestrating the crime.
“I also disclosed my source, a highly credible one, in the presence of the CID director,” Asare-Obeng stated.
He further urged the CID to update the public on the investigation’s status and justify any delays in resolving the case.
“It is critical that the CID director updates the public on the progress of the investigation and indicates with justification whether additional time is required,” he said.
Expressing dissatisfaction with the perceived sidelining of the case, Asare-Obeng issued a 48-hour ultimatum to the police.
He warned that failure to provide an update would prompt him to summon the Ghana Police Service to Parliament to brief lawmakers formally.
Should this effort fail, he pledged to inform the public directly via social media, revealing details of the case and the alleged perpetrator.
Mr Asare-Obeng’s bold stance has reignited public interest in the unresolved murder, with many urging the police to intensify their efforts to bring the perpetrators to justice.
The involvement of a former high-ranking official, if substantiated, would be a significant development in the quest to resolve the case and ensure accountability.
The Ahmed Suale murder case remains one of Ghana’s most troubling unsolved crimes, symbolizing the dangers faced by investigative journalists.
This latest revelation adds pressure on authorities to deliver justice and rebuild public trust in the country’s justice system.
