The family of Investigative journalist Ahmed Hussein-Suale, who was shot dead, has expressed their dissatisfaction on the slow pace of investigations following his murder.
According to the family, several reports were made to the Police Service by their deceased son together with accompanying evidence.
They were thus unhappy that the police has not shown any commitment in bringing finality to the case four years after Ahmed Suale’s demise.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, August 16, the family said “at minimum, we expect the police to look into the crime of aiding and abetting and threats of harm where there is plentiful of evidence, all of which was reported to them on a couple of occasions by Ahmed Suale.”
The statement signed by the spokesperson of the family, Ibrahim Kamilu Tahidu added that it said it would be a “misfortune” for Kennedy Agyapong, who is the Member of Parliament for Assin Central, to be voted into office as Ghana’s next president.
“By his lack of remorse and the frantic defence of his conduct, the family is doubtful that Ahmed would ever get justice under a misfortune where Kennedy Agyapong becomes the President of Ghana,” Mr. Tahidu stressed.
The family’s reaction comes after Kennedy Agyapong in a recent interview refused to apologise for his comments and actions towards the slain journalist prior to his death.
