Kennedy Agyapong says he still holds the same opinion about the late investigative journalist Ahmed Suale despite his ambition to contest for the presidency in 2024.
The member of parliament maintains that all of the things he said about the late Ghanaian undercover journalist Ahmed Hussein Suale were nothing but the truth.
Speaking with Roland Walker on TV3’s New Day Wednesday, August 16, 2023, Ken Agyapong, who is also a flagbearer hopeful of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) said: “He was a bad man. I won’t change my stance on him because I want to be President. His own deeds caused his death not me.”
His utterance was in response to a question posed to him about whether his exposure of Ahmed Suale on TV caused his death. Further defending his claim against the journalist, he criticized the Ghanaian media for focusing on isolated arguments rather than fully examining the problems at hand.
Ahmed Hussein-Suale was a Ghanaian undercover journalist and a colleague of Anas Aremeyaw Anas, another Ghanaian journalist. He was shot three times in his vehicle on January 16, 2019, once in the neck and twice in the chest by unidentified guys riding motorcycles. He died as a result.
Ahmed was a part of the Tiger Eye Private Investigations team that looked into the Ghana Football Association’s Number 12 corruption case, which resulted in Kwesi Nyantakyi’s expulsion from office and a lifetime ban. Kennedy Agyapong, a parliamentarian from Ghana, demanded revenge against Hussein-Suale in response. He also contributed to an investigation by the BBC investigating the sale of human body parts for ritual magic in Malawi.
The results of a private inquiry into the death of Ahmed Hussein Suale were published on January 16, 2020, as part of the Forbidden Stories series by famous international journalist Guillaume Perrier. He claims that a crucial lead was not followed up on by the Ghana Police Service.[9][10]
Prior to Mr. Suale’s horrifying death, Kennedy Agyapong featured a picture of him on his television network, NET2 TV, and instructed his employees to beat him up if they saw him outside. If they attacked him, he said, he was prepared to take the fallout.
