Ghana journalist who exposed corruption killed
A journalist from Ghana who exposed corruption in soccer was killed. Ahmed Hussain Suale was killed near his house in the Accra suburb of Madina by two men on a motorbike. He was working for an organization called Tiger Eye Pi founded by Anas Aremeyaw Anas. I quoted CNN as stating:
"In a statement, Tiger Eye PI said Hussein-Suale had received death threats after recently finishing work on a documentary that exposed bribery and corruption in African soccer."
This investigation led by Hussein-Suale and Anas led to the resignation of the head of the Ghana Football Association.
Ghanaian President Nana Akufo-Addo took to Twitter to condemn the killing as heinous. He states (quoting from CNN):
"I have learnt with sadness of the killing of Ahmed Hussein-Suale. ...," he wrote. "I condemn the act unreservedly and extend my condolences to his family. I expect the police to bring to book, as soon as possible, the perpetrators of this heinous crime. ..."
