The Managing Director of ISPY Company, Daniel Owusu Koranteng, who is in custody in connection with the murder of investigative journalist Ahmed Suale, is set to reappear in court today, April 2.

Mr Koranteng, also known as Kwasi Amakye, is facing a provisional charge of murder. The case was adjourned by the Madina Magistrates’ Court, presided over by Magistrate Suzzy Nyakote, to allow for further investigations.

His arrest followed an extensive investigation carried out by the FBI in collaboration with local law enforcement.

Police sources have revealed that phone records connected Koranteng to Suale in the days leading up to the murder.

Additionally, prosecutors indicated that he was in Suale’s neighbourhood on the night of the incident.

During his previous court appearance, Mr Koranteng admitted to taking photographs of Suale but denied selling the photos to politician Kennedy Agyapong, who aired the photos on television and allegedly encouraged the public to attack Suale.

Mr Koranteng’s lawyer, Kofi Essel, described the charge as “shambolic” and argued that there was no substantial evidence to support the allegations.

He also requested bail, asserting that there was insufficient proof to justify the charge.
