Godfred Yeboah Dame, the Attorney General and Minister of Justice has assured that the government is fully committed to making sure that the assassins of investigative journalist Ahmed Suale are located and held accountable.
He said that a great deal of research had been done on the subject, some of it carried out outside of the nation.
He brought up, for example, the investigations carried out by the FBI on behalf of the United States of America (USA) government to determine Suale’s killers.
“I find it fascinating that the reason behind the murder is significant because, as far as I know, it has nothing to do with the work he was doing. We must identify the person(s) who carried out the murder,” he remarked.
Speaking yesterday on the floor of Parliament, Mr. Dame said there had been a lot of conjecture and that the public’s continued speculation about the murder’s motivations was facilitated by the case’s inability to be solved.
As you can see, significant effort has been put into the laboratory testing conducted by the US Embassy in Ghana and the United States of America, but the issue has not yet been resolved.
He emphasized, “I can say that indeed, justice will catch up with the murderers of Ahmed Suale, just as the murder of American rapper Tupac Shakur was unraveled only a few months ago.”
The assurance was provided by Mr. Dame in response to a query from Francis-Xavier Sosu, the NDC MP for Madina, who wanted to know how the murder investigations into Ahmed Suale, Major Maxwell Adam Mahama, J. B. Danquah Adu, Professor Benneh, Fennec Okyere, Abubakar Shalid, and Shadrach Arloo were going.
In addition, he gave the House an update on the state of the inquiries into the deaths of the other six people.
