The world’s football governing body, FIFA is the latest to condemn the killing of an undercover investigator, Ahmed Hussein-Suale and has called on the Ghana government to investigate the killing of the journalist.
Ahmed, who is a member of Tiger EyePI was shot and killed on Thursday while he was rushing to the hospital to visit his ailing child.
He was shot thrice – twice in the chest and once in the neck – by assailants riding a motorbike in the Accra suburb, Madina.
The undercover journalist played a key role in the investigative piece ‘Number 12’ which exposed the rot in Ghana football which led to FIFA handing a lifetime ban to former Ghana Football Association President Kwesi Nyantakyi.
In a statement, FIFA said it ‘has been extremely disturbed and saddened to hear of the news that a local journalist based in Ghana – Mr Ahmed Hussein-Suale – was shot dead yesterday.
“FIFA reiterates its support for journalists doing important investigative work, which on many occasions leads to an improvement in government standards, not only in football but across the board in public life,” the statement added.
Ahmed Suale was buried today at Madina, Accra.
