The Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central, Kwame Asare-Obeng, popularly known as A Plus, has called for an urgent update on the investigation into the murder of journalist Ahmed Suale which took place in 2019.

In a recent post on Facebook, A Plus shared details of a meeting he had last year with officials from the Criminal Investigations Department (CID). “Last year, I was invited to the CID headquarters to provide information regarding the murder of Ahmed Suale,” A Plus said.

“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.” He disclosed.

MP Kwame Asare also emphasized the need for the CID director to provide a public update on the progress of the investigation.

“It is critical that the CID director updates the public on the progress of the investigation and indicates and justifies whether additional time is required,” he stated. “At this point, it appears the matter has been sidelined.” He added.

A Plus warned that if no update is provided within 48 hours, he would take further action. “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,” he explained.

He continued to state that he would utilize social media platforms to reveal the name of the alleged perpetrator should the parliamentary summon fail.

“Should that fail, I will utilize my Facebook and other social media platforms to update the nation on what I know about the matter, which shall include the name of the alleged perpetrator.” He said.
