Daniel Owusu Koranteng, a former associate of the late investigative journalist Ahmed Suale at Tiger Eye PI, has been charged with murder in connection with Suale’s death.
He is accused of causing Suale’s death through unlawful harm.
According to case details, Koranteng was allegedly near Suale’s residence in Madina before and at the time of the shooting.
Reports indicate that he left Madina for his home in Amasaman around 11 p.m. that same night. Authorities also claim he evaded police invitations and fled to the United Kingdom in 2019.
However, following police surveillance, he was arrested upon his return to Ghana on March 15, 2025.
Investigators suggest that Suale had identified Koranteng as the person who sold his pictures to Kennedy Agyapong—a claim Koranteng has denied.
On Wednesday, he was arraigned before the Madina District Court and subsequently remanded into custody.
The case has been adjourned to April 1.
US court awards Anas $18m in defamation suit against Ken Agyapong
Investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas has secured a significant legal victory in the United States, winning an $18 million defamation lawsuit against former Ghanaian Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong.
The verdict was delivered by a jury in Essex County, New Jersey.
The lawsuit, filed on May 17, 2022, in the Essex County Superior Court, accused Kennedy Agyapong and media personality Frederick Asamoah of making defamatory statements against Anas during an episode of The Daddy Fred Show, an online program popular among Ghanaian audiences in the United States.
During the program, Agyapong allegedly made a series of damaging and false claims, including accusing Anas of being a criminal, a thief, and responsible for the murder of investigative journalist Ahmed Suale.
Suale, a key member of Anas’ investigative team, was assassinated in 2019 following the release of Number 12, a documentary that exposed corruption in Ghanaian football.
The court documents highlighted several specific allegations made by Agyapong, including:
Falsely claiming that Anas had been convicted of crimes in Ghana.
Accusing Anas of orchestrating Ahmed Suale’s murder.
Asserting that Anas was responsible for the deaths of multiple Chinese nationals in Ghana.
Labeling Anas as a thief.
This U.S. legal triumph comes after a setback for Anas in Ghana, where he had earlier pursued a defamation case against Kennedy Agyapong in 2018.
Anas had sought GH¢25 million in damages, citing defamatory materials published by Agyapong. However, the Accra High Court ruled against Anas on March 15, 2023, stating that his investigative methods resembled “investigative terrorism” rather than legitimate journalism.
