The Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) has commended the Ghana Police Service for making a significant breakthrough in the long-standing case of the murder of investigative journalist Ahmed Hussein-Suale.
The police recently announced the arrest of a suspect linked to the journalist’s assassination, a move that has reignited calls for justice and press freedom in the country.
In a statement, the GJA expressed appreciation for the police’s efforts in pursuing the case, describing the arrest as a crucial step toward ensuring accountability and deterring attacks on journalists.
The association also urged the authorities to conduct thorough investigations to ensure all perpetrators face the full force of the law.
Ahmed Suale, who was a key member of investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas’s Tiger Eye PI team, was shot and killed in Madina, Accra, in January 2019.
His murder sparked national and international outrage, with calls for swift justice and better protection for journalists in Ghana.
The GJA reiterated its commitment to advocating for press freedom and journalist safety, emphasizing that such attacks should never go unpunished.
The association called on the government and security agencies to ensure that the case reaches its logical conclusion and that justice is served without delay.
Ghana Journalist Association is of the hope that as the investigation continues, the latest arrest will mark a turning point in securing justice for Ahmed Suale and strengthening the protection of journalists across the country.
