Here’s Why The Prime Suspect Of Almed Suale’s Murder Got Arrest 3 Days After Mahama Sacked Dampare

-

A leading member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Henry Osei Akoto, has expressed his shock over the recent development regarding the arrest of a suspect in connection with the murder of Ahmed Suale.


According to him, it is surprising that just a few days after the dismissal of former Inspector General of Police, Dr George Akuffo Dampare, a suspect has been detained in the high-profile case.

He questioned Dampare’s performance during his tenure as IGP, asking what he had done over the years to apprehend those responsible or make any progress in solving the tragic murder of the investigative journalist, Ahmed Suale, seven years after the incident.

The politician, seeking answers on whether the turn of events was merely coincidental, expressed his thoughts on the swift arrest made following the recent change in the police administration.

He also questioned the timing of the development, suggesting that the speed of the arrest seemed notable after the shift in leadership.

“Dampare sacked, and in just 3 days, a suspect has been arrested in the Ahmed Suale murder case. What was Dampare doing for 3 and a half years?” he questioned in a post on his X account on March 17, 2025.

Meanwhile, the suspect arrested in connection with the murder of the late investigative journalist, Ahmed Suale, allegedly leaked the deceased’s pictures to a Ghanaian politician.

According to a report by myjoyonline.com, a source at the Criminal Investigation Department of the Ghana Police Service disclosed that a high-ranking member is attempting to interfere in the police’s investigation.

The said officer is allegedly pushing for the suspect to be granted police inquiry bail rather than being immediately processed to court.

This, they say, has, however, created unrest within the police administration as the investigators are determined to resist the influence of the said officer.

It emerged on Monday, March 17, 2025, that the Ghana Police Service arrested Daniel Owusu Koranteng, also known as Akwasi Amakye, in connection with the killing of investigative journalist Ahmed Suale in 2019.

Reports indicate that Amakye, a former colleague of Suale at Tiger Eye Private Investigations, allegedly leaked his photos to a politician before the tragic incident.

Following the murder, Amakye fled to the UK but recently returned to Ghana, leading to his arrest at a salon at Amasaman-Adease.
