Humiliating Ken Agyapong for Ahmed Suale’s murder unfair – Sammy Gyamfi

The National Communications Officer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi has asked Ghanaians to stop accusing the Member of Parliament of Assin Central Constitution, Hon. Kennedy Agyapong of having a hand in the murder of investigative journalist, Ahmed Hussein Suale.

He describes the public accusations as unfair.

According to Sammy Gyamfi, it is wrong for Ghanaians to be humiliating the Assin Central lawmaker for the death of the slain journalist.

He added that he [Kennedy Agyapong] can be humiliated for the "threat of harm on Ahmed Suale" for exposing the identity of the journalist on his TV station which subsequently led to his assassination some two years ago.

"Humiliating him for the murder will not be fair. But at least, humiliating him for the threat of harm on Ahmed Suale, that one is fair so he should accept his responsibility...," he said on Metro TV's 'Good Morning Ghana' program on Thursday, May 27, 2021.

Sammy Gyamfi further accused the Akufo Addo-led government of not doing enough to bring the killers of Ahmed Suale to justice. He believes that if as of now the killers have not been apprehended, at least the one [Kennedy Agyapong] who threatened him with harm should be dealt with.

"With regards to Ahmed Suale's murder, government could have taken some actions. At least, if for nothing at all, the one who openly and publicly threatened him with harm should have been held liable, should have been prosecuted by now. That's the point I'm making...," he indicated.

Many Ghanaians believe the Assin Central lawmaker and businessman should have been arrested and questioned over the death Ahmed Suale after publishing images of the journalist and further asking anyone to attack him for a ransom.

The lawmaker said: "That's him. His other picture is there as well, make it big. If you meet him somewhere, slap him… beat him, whatever happens, I'll pay."

Few days later, Ahmed Suale's was shot dead on January 16, 2019 by unknown gunmen.
