The main suspect in the murder of investigative journalist Ahmed Suale, Daniel Owusu Koranteng, is scheduled to appear in court today, Wednesday, April 2, after his recent arrest.

Koranteng faces charges related to the killing of Suale, who was known for his investigative work exposing corruption within Ghanaian politics.

Suale, a prominent member of the Tiger Eye PI team, was shot dead in January 2019 in Madina, Accra. His murder caused shockwaves both nationally and internationally, as he had been pivotal in revealing major corruption cases.

According to law enforcement sources, Daniel Koranteng, also known as Akwasi Amakye, was allegedly in the vicinity of the crime scene when the shooting took place. Suale was ambushed and shot at close range while driving, with the identity of the assailants remaining unknown.

In addition to the murder charges, Koranteng is accused of betrayal, with reports suggesting that he may have shared Suale's photos with a politician involved in the crime prior to the killing.

This case has sparked renewed calls for justice and the defense of press freedom in Ghana, as authorities move ahead with legal action against the suspect.
