Major Breakthrough In Ahmed Suale Murder Case As Former Tiger Eye PI Member Is Charged With Murder

In a significant development in the investigation into the murder of undercover journalist Ahmed Suale, Daniel Owusu Koranteng, a former associate of Suale at Tiger Eye PI, has been charged with murder. Koranteng is accused of causing Suale’s death through unlawful harm, marking a major breakthrough in a case that has remained unresolved since Suale’s tragic killing in January 2019.

Details of the Case

According to case details presented in court, Koranteng was allegedly near Suale’s residence in Madina, Accra, both before and at the time of the shooting. Reports indicate that he left Madina for his home in Amasaman around 11 p.m. on the night of the incident. Authorities further allege that Koranteng evaded police invitations for questioning and fled to the United Kingdom in 2019. However, after extensive police surveillance, he was arrested upon his return to Ghana on March 15, 2025.

Investigators have suggested that Suale had identified Koranteng as the individual who sold his pictures to Kennedy Agyapong, a controversial Member of Parliament. Agyapong had publicly displayed Suale’s images on national television, urging people to “beat him” if they saw him—a move widely criticized for endangering Suale’s life. Koranteng has denied these allegations.

Court Proceedings

On Wednesday, Koranteng was arraigned before the Madina District Court, where he was formally charged with murder. The court remanded him into police custody, and the case has been adjourned to April 1 for further proceedings.

Background on Ahmed Suale’s Murder

Ahmed Suale was a key member of Tiger Eye PI, the investigative team led by renowned journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas. Suale played a pivotal role in the production of the explosive documentary “Number 12,” which exposed widespread corruption in Ghanaian football. His murder in January 2019 sent shockwaves through Ghana and the international community, raising concerns about the safety of investigative journalists and the dangers they face in their line of work.

Despite widespread outrage and calls for justice, no one has been convicted in connection with Suale’s death. The case has remained a symbol of the risks faced by journalists who expose corruption and wrongdoing, particularly in high-stakes environments.

Implications of the Charges

The charging of Daniel Owusu Koranteng represents a significant step forward in the quest for justice for Ahmed Suale. However, the case is likely to face intense scrutiny, given the high-profile nature of Suale’s work and the allegations surrounding his murder. The involvement of Kennedy Agyapong, who has been a vocal critic of Anas Aremeyaw Anas and Tiger Eye PI, adds another layer of complexity to the case.

As the legal proceedings unfold, the case will undoubtedly reignite debates about press freedom, the safety of journalists, and the broader challenges of combating corruption in Ghana. For Suale’s family, colleagues, and supporters, the charges against Koranteng offer a glimmer of hope that justice may finally be served.

The adjournment to April 1 will be closely watched, as the court continues to examine the evidence and determine the next steps in this high-stakes case.
