Arrest in Ahmed Suale Murder Case Linked to Alleged Photo Leak to Politician
Daniel Owusu Koranteng, arrested for Ahmed Suale’s murder, allegedly leaked his photos to a politician. A high-ranking officer is reportedly interfering with the investigation, pushing for bail rather than court processing. Amakye fled to the UK post-murder but has returned to Ghana, leading to his arrest.
Recent reports indicate that Daniel Owusu Koranteng, known as Akwasi Amakye, has been arrested in connection with the murder of investigative journalist Ahmed Suale. Allegedly, before the tragic incident in 2019, Amakye leaked Suale’s photographs to a prominent Ghanaian politician.
A source from the Criminal Investigation Department of the Ghana Police Service stated that a high-ranking officer is reportedly attempting to impede the investigation. This officer is allegedly advocating for the suspect to receive police inquiry bail instead of being promptly brought to court, creating tension within the police force.
Following his flight to the United Kingdom after the murder, Amakye has recently returned to Ghana and was apprehended while at a salon in Amasaman-Adease. Investigators are resolute in their commitment to resisting any undue influence from the officer attempting to intervene in the case.
In summary, Daniel Owusu Koranteng’s arrest in relation to Ahmed Suale’s murder is compounded by allegations of him leaking Suale’s photos to a politician. The interference of a high-ranking police officer poses challenges to the integrity of the ongoing investigation. Despite these complexities, the involvement of law enforcement remains steadfast in pursuing justice for the late journalist.
