Ahmed Suale’s Killing: Why Owusu Koranteng Has Been Charged - The Ghanaian Chronicle

Ahmed Suale, a prominent investigative journalist known for his work with the Tiger Eye PI team, was tragically murdered in January 2019. His death sparked widespread outrage and calls for justice, highlighting the dangers faced by journalists in Ghana. Recently, Owusu Koranteng has been charged with conspiracy to commit murder in connection with Suale's killing. This development comes after a lengthy investigation into the circumstances surrounding the journalist's assassination.

Owusu Koranteng's arrest is seen as a significant step towards accountability in a case that has remained unresolved for years. The charges against him suggest that authorities are taking serious measures to address the threats posed to journalists and uphold press freedom in Ghana. Many hope this will encourage further investigations into other unsolved cases of violence against media personnel.

The ongoing legal proceedings serve as a reminder of the importance of protecting journalists who risk their lives to expose corruption and injustice. As the trial unfolds, it will be crucial for both the public and government officials to support efforts aimed at ensuring safety and justice for those working in the media sector.
