If Kennedy Agyapong is elected president, the late investigative journalist Ahmed Suale’s family said they have reservations that Suale would receive justice.

One of the ten contenders vying to be the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flag bearer for the 2024 elections is Kennedy Agyapong.

Suale was brought up in recent separate television interviews as part of Kennedy Agyapong’s campaign for the presidential primaries in reference to his claimed involvement in the journalist’s killing.

Suale’s family has stated without wavering that the journalist was exposed and killed as a result of Mr. Agyapong publishing Suale’s photo and encouraging anyone who saw him to attack him.

The family responded to Kennedy’s comments in a news release by claiming that Mr. Agyapong has consistently displayed no remorse whenever Suale’s case has been brought up for debate.

“There can be no escape route for Kennedy Agyapong, as nothing can be further from the truth, that. it was his extremely reckless and criminal conduct that led to the death of our brother. It was reckless for him to have shown the photos of Ahmed on his Net 2 TV while revealing his residential location. And it was criminal for him to have rallied thugs to unleash violence on Ahmed for a ransom, he, Kennedy Agyapong was willing to pay” statement signed by Ibrahim Kamilu Tahidu stated.

“Ghana. We are also disappointed that, to date, the Police has not made any progress on the matter. At minimum, we expect the Police to look into the crime of aiding and abetting, and threats of harm where there is plentiful of evidence, all of which was reported to them on a couple of occasions by Ahmed Suale” the statement added.

“By his lack of remorse and the frantic defence of his conduct, the family is doubtful that Ahmed would ever get justice under a misfortune where Kennedy Agyapong becomes the president of Ghana,”.

“Therefore, the post facto attempt to shift the blame on the professional conduct of Ahmed, cannot hold. Over the period, Kennedy Agyapong has tried strenuously to change the effect of his call for retribution against Ahmed by saying his comments were location-bound, i.e., presence at Net 2 premises. We quote his comments verbatim here to prove how deceitful Kennedy Agyapong is – “yes, that is him, Ahmed, he lives at Madina… wherever you see him beat him up.. I will pay for the cost. Clearly, Kennedy Agyapong was rallying support for the lynching of Ahmed without any restriction” the statement captured.

On January 16, 2019, as Ahmed-Hussein Suale was operating a motor vehicle in Madina in Accra, he was shot numerous times by unidentified persons on a motorbike.
