Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central, Kwame Asare-Obeng, commonly known as A Plus, has threatened to reveal the identity of the person he claims is behind the death of investigative journalist Ahmed Suale.

The lawmaker disclosed through a Facebook post that he had provided the name of the individual allegedly responsible for Suale's murder when he was invited by the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) in 2024.

He alleged in his post that the person behind the murder was a high-profile minister from the previous Nana Addo-led administration. A Plus has served notice that he will be forced to expose the individual through his Facebook account if the police fail to update Ghanaians within 48 hours or if his attempt to summon the police leadership before Parliament proves unsuccessful.

In a post on his verified Facebook account, he stated: "Last year, I was invited to the CID headquarters to provide information regarding the murder of Ahmed Suale. During the meeting, I identified a high-profile minister from the previous government who was allegedly involved in contracting assailants to carry out the crime. I also disclosed my source, a highly credible one, in the presence of the CID director.

It is critical that the CID director updates the public on the progress of the investigation and indicates, with justification, whether additional time is required.

At this point, it appears the matter has been sidelined. If no update is provided within 48 hours, I will invoke my authority as a Member of Parliament to formally summon the Ghana Police Service to brief Parliament on this case. Should that fail, I will utilize my Facebook and other social media platforms to update the nation on what I know about the matter, including the name of the alleged perpetrator."
