Godfred Yeboah Dame, Nigeria’s Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, has stated that no prosecution docket or action has been submitted regarding the murder of investigative journalist Ahmed Suale.
He also indicated that four suspects were initially detained to help with ongoing investigation.
However, they were later granted police enquiry bail after eyewitnesses failed to identify them.
He disclosed this during a parliamentary parliamentary session on Tuesday, February 20, 2024.
He assured Ghanaians that the murder of Ahmed Suale is among many pending cases.
He stressed that the Ghana Police Service’s criminal investigations department is handling the case, but no suitable prosecution document has been presented to his office.
“A number of cases are pending in court and I will begin with the murder of Ahmed Suale. It is worthy to know that it is a matter being investigated by the criminal investigations department of the Ghana Police Service. No docket or document fit for prosecution has been built and presented to my office since the murder.
“On being appointed Attorney General, the former inspector of police [James] Oppong-Boanuh paid a courtesy call on me on March 29, 2021, for being concerned about the failure to resolve this case and other cases.
“I inquired about the state of investigations into the matter and demanded a report on the case and the director general of CID obliged.”
Ahmed Suale was fatally killed by two unidentified individuals on a motorbike in Madina, returning from a family meeting in 2019.
