In the murder case of investigative 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 the investigation that has gripped the nation for years.
According to case details, Koranteng was allegedly near Suale’s residence in Madina before and at the time of the fatal shooting on January 16, 2019. Reports indicate that he left Madina for his home in Amasaman around 11 p.m. on the night of the incident. Authorities further revealed that Koranteng evaded police invitations for questioning and fled to the United Kingdom in 2019, complicating the investigation.
However, after months of surveillance, Koranteng 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 figure who had publicly targeted Suale before his death. Koranteng has denied these allegations.
On Wednesday, March 19, 2025, 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.
The arrest and charging of Koranteng have reignited public interest in the case, which has been a symbol of the dangers faced by investigative journalists in Ghana. Ahmed Suale, a key member of the Tiger Eye PI team led by Anas Aremeyaw Anas, was shot and killed by unidentified assailants while driving home in Madina. His death sparked widespread outrage and calls for justice, with many pointing fingers at individuals who had publicly threatened him prior to the murder.
As the case progresses, many are hopeful that this development will bring long-awaited answers and justice for Ahmed Suale and his family. The adjournment to April 1 will be closely watched by the public, media, and human rights advocates, who continue to demand accountability for the killing of the courageous journalist.
