Daniel Owusu Koranteng, the main suspect in the murder of investigative journalist Ahmed Suale, is scheduled to appear in court today, Wednesday, April 2.
His court appearance comes after his recent arrest, as he faces serious charges linked to the killing of Suale, a journalist renowned for exposing corruption within Ghana’s political landscape.
Ahmed Suale, a prominent member of the investigative group Tiger Eye PI, was brutally murdered in January 2019 in Madina, Accra. His assassination sent shockwaves across the nation and the international community, as he had played a significant role in unveiling high-profile corruption cases.
According to law enforcement sources, Daniel Koranteng, who is also known by the alias Akwasi Amakye, was allegedly present near the crime scene when the shooting occurred. Suale was ambushed while driving and was shot at close range by unknown gunmen.
Beyond the murder charges, Koranteng is also accused of betrayal. Reports suggest that prior to the killing, he allegedly shared Suale’s photographs with a politician suspected of being involved in the crime.
The case has reignited discussions on justice and press freedom in Ghana, as legal proceedings against the suspect move forward.
