The family of Ahmed Hussein-Suale has cautioned New Patriotic Party flagbearer hopfeul, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, against using the name of the murdered investigator to push his political ambition.
Kennedy Agyapong who once called for violence to be meted on the Ahmed Suale suspects in a recent interview denied the allegations, again, that he had a hand in his death. He noted that he once offered the deceased financial support to settle his fees at a time when he had no idea about his association with Tiger Eye P. I. owned by Anas Aremeyaw Anas.
Reacting to the claim by the Assin Central MP, the family of Ahmed in a statement dated said “it is preposterous to hear of Kennedy Agyapong’s claim of paying the fees of our late brother. We are very saddened by this comment and wish to state unequivocally that Kennedy Agyapong has never paid the school fees of our late son and brother. We dare him to produce any evidence to that effect.”
While calling on the public to treat the statement by the MP with contempt, the family said Mr. Kennedy Agyapong cannot absolve himself from the fact that he played a role in the murder of Ahmed Suale.
“What we and the entire world know for a fact is that Kennedy Agyapong published the identity of our late brother on his Net 2 TV and further asked his thugs to harm him whenever they see him which eventually resulted in the gruesome murder of our brother and son. He should henceforth desist from using the name of our brother for political mileage,” the family emphasized.
When Kennedy Agyapong appeared on Metro TV as part of his campaign for the upcoming flagbearer contest of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), he was asked about the death of Ahmed Suale during the interview. He revealed that he unknowingly paid the school fees of the former investigator.
The lawmaker narrated that it was after publishing Ahmed Suale’s photos on Net 2 TV years ago with the intent of cautioning the public against his ways, that his staff notified him that Suale (now deceased) is someone whose university tuition fees he; the MP, once paid.
“When I showed the video on Net2, my workers came to me and told me, Hon don’t you know this guy? And I said no. And they were like but he was one of the guys you paid his school fees. I said I don’t remember because I always pay people’s school fees.
“He came here, he said he was going to the University and you gave him GHc1,500, one of his staff reminded me but I still insisted that I don’t remember. But then my staff then again said he has been coming here.”

He continued that it was on the basis of that knowledge of Suale coming to his premises that he cautioned; “don’t allow him to come here, he will set us up, when you see him, beat him up. This is what I said,” he recounted.
I Will Bring Back The Case
Kennedy Agyapong added that if he is elected as president, he would make sure that Ahmed Suale’s murder is thoroughly investigated in order to clear his name.
“What I will do if I’m elected president is I will encourage the police to investigate the case to the bottom to uncover everything. I wanted to tell you that if I’m elected today, whether the case is dead or not I will bring it back again to investigate.”

Kennedy Agyapong added that if he is elected as president, he would make sure that Ahmed Suale’s murder is thoroughly investigated in order to clear his name. The 2019 murder of Ahmed Suale still remains unresolved.
