Why I won’t volunteer information on Ahmed Suale’s death to police – A Plus explains

Social commentator, Kwame Obeng Asare, has said that he will not volunteer any information on the death of Ahmed Suale to the Ghana Police Service.

According to him, he has in the past volunteered information to the police for which he was betrayed.

He, therefore, will only volunteer the information if he is provided with security.

“I had a lead that the police had gone to kill some five people who they claimed were going to kill a chief in Gomoa Fetteh. That wasn’t the case; it was one of their informants who lied to them. I had information, and I went to a meeting with the IGP and Ken Yeboah, who was the CID boss. I was always attacking Ken Yeboah because of this issue. After leaving the CID headquarters, the guy who misled the police to kill the five people called me and told me that he had been told that I was the informant," he said.

"Before I went to the police headquarters, I told the guy called Jah Rule that we would lick him from the street because he was setting boys up. I called the IGP to tell him that someone in our meeting went to tell the guy we suspect misled the police. This guy misled the police because they wanted a way they could go to Asamankese. What happened was that the guys who were killed did not go to Gomoa Fetteh to kill any chief but rather they went as an Asafo group to drum and shoot into the skies, but the informant told the police that they were going to kill a chief, hence the police’s decision to shoot to kill,” he stated in a video livestream on Facebook.

Ahmed Suale was shot dead in Accra, Ghana’s capital, on January 16, 2019, in an apparent contract killing.

He worked as a reporter for Tiger Eye P.I., an investigative outlet led by well-known journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas, which is known for undertaking undercover investigations to expose wrongdoing.
