News24xx.com -Quoted from CNN on Friday, January 18th 2019, according to the attorney from the place of the late Ahmed Hussein-Suale, Kissi Agyebeng the incident occurred near the victim's house in the Accra suburb, Medina, Ghana. At that time, he was driving a car and was approached by two men who were riding on motorbikes.

The two men stopped next to Ahmed Hussein-Suale's car and shot him in the close range. Ahmed Hussein-Suale, said Agyebeng, died immediately due the gunshot wounds pierced his chest and neck. This killing method reminds us of a similar tragedy that befell Irish female journalist Veronica Guerrin. He was also shot at close range by two people riding a motorcycle.

In response to this incident, Ghana police were reluctant to give their comment. Hussein-Suale is known to work as a journalist for the Tiger Eye Pi organization, which ran by investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas.

In a statement, Tiger Eye Pi said Hussein-Suale received a death threat after completing a documentary about the practice of bribery and corruption in the world of African football. As a result of his journalistic work, the chairman of the Ghana Football Association resigned.

Hussein-Suale's identity, which was disguised, was revealed by a member of the Ghana parliament, Kennedy Agyapong. He showed a picture of Hussein-Suale and his residence in an interview on Ghana television station TV NET 2. In a videotape, he stated he would pay anyone who attacked Hussein-Suale. "That boy (Ahmed-Hussein) that's very dangerous, he lives here in Madina. If you meet him somewhere, break his ears. If he ever comes to this premises, I'm telling you, beat him. Whatever happens, I'll pay because he's bad, that Ahmed." said Agyapong.
