Kennedy Agyapong has identified an individual whom he alleges to be responsible for the tragic killing of investigative journalist Ahmed Suale, a former member of the Tiger Eye PI team.
According to the Member of Parliament for Assin Central, he believes that a person named Ansu Gyeabour, residing in Kumasi, is the alleged perpetrator in this case. He claims to have received this information from the police, who assured him of his innocence in the matter.
“Why is it that when someone kills a police, within three days, the person is caught? When a Ghanaian kills another citizen who is not a police personnel or part of the security agencies, the person is never arrested. Why? That is why I am saying that when I go, my Committee [Committee on Defense in Parliament] will invite the minister.
“And I have a typical example of Ahmed Suale when I condemned Anas, the person who killed him is in the Ashanti region. The police briefed me themselves that I am exonerated and that they don’t know why this thing happened and that I should stay away but I insisted, ‘how do I stay away when Anas, that thief, that murderer mentioned my name to the extent that a Congressman reported me so much that when I got to Houston in 2019 November, I was stopped that I had killed Ahmed Suale’.
“And then today, you have the report, you know. And the most painful aspect is that they told me that I should have patience and that the guy [suspected killer], whose name is Ansu Gyeabour – today, you are privileged, you are the first because it enrages me. I say he is in Kumasi. Yes! Yes! Ansu Gyeabour, and the police have shown me his pictures, asking me to be patient, for over one year yet my name is out there,” he explained.
He made this revelation in 2021 during an interview on Adinkra TV. The two-year-old footage has resurfaced after the Assin Central MP urged Ghanaian to seek answers from Vice President Bawumia due to his authority in the Police Service.
Since the unfortunate killing of Ahmed Suale in January 2019, Kennedy Agyapong has been linked to the incident. This connection stems from his prior mention of Ahmed’s name as one of the individuals collaborating with Anas Aremeyaw Anas, the celebrated undercover investigative journalist.
Notably, Ahmed had recently worked with the BBC on the renowned exposé titled “Number 12: When Greed and Corruption Become the Norm.”
Ahmed Suale’s tragic death occurred near his family residence in Accra. According to reports, tensions escalated after Tiger Eye’s latest investigative report, which unveiled widespread corruption in African football. Kennedy Agyapong openly expressed his hostility toward the team, objecting to their undercover methods and even calling for Anas to be punished publicly.
In the aftermath of the documentary’s screening, Kennedy Agyapong used his own television station to target Hussein-Suale, revealing the journalist’s previously undisclosed identity.
“That’s him,” said Agyapong, as images of Hussein-Suale appeared on the screen. “His other picture is there as well, make it big.”
Agyapong revealed Hussein-Suale’s name and the neighbourhood he lived in. “If you meet him somewhere, slap him… beat him,” he said. “Whatever happens, I’ll pay.”
