In the final hours of Wednesday, January 16, 2019, investigative journalist Ahmed Hussein-Suale was shot and killed by unidentified gunmen on a motorbike while he was driving past the Queen of Peace Catholic Church in the Madina suburb of Accra, Ghana.
Hussein-Suale was a member of Tiger Eye Private Investigations, run by renowned Ghanaian journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas, who remains unknown and always wears a mask when appearing in public. Last year, Tiger Eye PI exposed the deep corruption within the Ghanaian Football Association, an investigation that led to the lifetime ban of the former association chief, Kwesi Nyantakyi, and a dissolution of the entire body by the government. After a documentary about the corruption scandal was published by the BBC, Hussein-Suale’s picture was revealed to the public by a Ghanaian politician and Member of Parliament, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong in a documentary he produced titled ‘Who Watches the Watchman’, criticising Anas and his investigative methods.
