Two bullets were fired into his chest with another hitting his neck. This was how undercover journalist, Ahmed Hussein-Suale, was shot dead on the night of January 16, 2019, at Madina, a suburb of Accra.

Police investigations have still not identified the perpetrators of this crime.

Until his death, Ahmed Hussein-Suale was a leading member of Anas Aremeyaw Anas' Tiger Eye Private Investigations.

He played a key role in Anas’ Number 12 exposé on the corruption in the Ghana Football Association that captured over 77 Ghana football officials and referees accepting bribes.

According to Reporters Without Borders, forty-nine journalists were killed across the world in 2019.

In the 2018 World Press Freedom index, Ghana was ranked as the first African country with media freedom. The murder of the journalist has however been a dent on the country’s Press Freedom.
