The family expressed hope that President John Dramani Mahama, upon receiving their petition next week, would act swiftly to ensure justice is served “irrespective of colour or status” in Ghanaian society. Ahmed Suale, who worked closely with investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas on the widely publicised #Number12 football corruption exposé, was shot dead in Madina on 16 January 2019. The Ghana Police Service has previously interrogated both Agyapong and former Ghana Football Association President, Kwesi Nyantakyi, as part of the investigation. The killing of Suale, a key figure in exposing football corruption, has attracted widespread condemnation locally and internationally. As the Suale family prepares to formally petition the government, the unresolved case continues to serve as a stark reminder of the dangers faced by investigative journalists in the country.
