Businessman remanded over Ahmed Suale’s murder - Ghanaian Times

A businessman, identified as Ibrahim Mohammed, has been remanded in custody by the Accra High Court in connection with the murder of investigative journalist Ahmed Suale. The court's decision follows a request from the prosecution for more time to complete their investigations into the case. Suale was known for his work with the Tiger Eye PI team and was assassinated in January 2019, an incident that raised significant concerns about press freedom and safety in Ghana.

During the court proceedings, it was revealed that Mohammed is facing charges of conspiracy to commit murder and murder itself. The prosecution emphasized the need for thorough investigations to ensure justice for Suale’s family and to uphold accountability within society. The case has garnered considerable public interest due to its implications on journalism and human rights.

The next hearing is scheduled for November 1, 2023, where further developments are anticipated. This case highlights ongoing issues regarding violence against journalists in Ghana and underscores the importance of protecting those who seek truth through their work.
