The Madina District Court has dropped the prosecution of a suspect in the 2019 murder of investigative journalist Ahmed Suale, acting on a directive from the Attorney General’s Office.
The suspect, Daniel Owusu Koranteng, had been facing charges of murder and abetment of murder. However, during proceedings on Tuesday, October 14, 2025, the prosecutor, Chief Inspector Nana Afua Bamfoa Bamfo, informed the court that the Attorney General had advised that the case be discontinued.
Following the withdrawal, the presiding judge discharged Koranteng.
On Wednesday, January 16, 2019, two unknown men allegedly shot Ahmed Hussein-Suale while he was driving near the Queen of Peace Catholic Church, Madina Estate, in the Greater Accra region.
Ahmed was a member of the investigative firm Tiger Eye Private Investigations which investigated corruption in the Ghana Football Association (GFA) named Number 12 which led to the removal of office and a lifetime ban of its President Kwesi Nyantakyi.
He was also part of an investigative journalism piece in collaboration with the BBC into human body parts sold for ritual magic in Malawi.
