Daniel Owusu Koranteng, the prime suspect in the murder of investigative journalist, Ahmed Suale, is scheduled to appear in court today. Koranteng’s arrest comes after a lengthy investigation into Suale’s assassination in January 2019. Suale, a renowned journalist, was instrumental in exposing corruption in Ghanaian politics.
Law enforcement sources reveal that Koranteng was allegedly near the crime scene at the time of the shooting. Suale was ambushed and shot at close range by unknown assailants. Koranteng faces charges related to the killing, including murder and betrayal. Reports suggest he provided Suale’s photographs to a politician linked to the crime before the killing.
The case has sparked renewed calls for justice and press freedom in Ghana as authorities proceed with legal action against Koranteng.
