Investigative journalist Ahmed Suale, according to Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong, is a bad man.
He claimed Sual’s own actions led to his demise.
In an interview with Roland Walker on TV3’s New Day on August 16, 2023, flagbearer candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Ken Agyapong said: “He was a bad man. I won’t change my stance on him because I want to be President. His own deeds caused his death not me.”
He made the statement in response to a question about whether or not Ahmed Suale’s exposure on television led to his passing.

Further defending his claim against the journalist, he criticized Ghanaian media for focusing on isolated arguments rather than fully examining the problems at hand.
An unidentified assailant shot Ahmed Hussein-Suale, an undercover journalist working for Anas Aremeyaw Anas’ Tiger Eye PI team, in the Madina neighborhood of Accra in January 2021.
Prior to Mr. Suale’s horrifying murder, Kennedy Agyapong featured a picture of him on his television network, NET2 TV, and instructed his employees to beat him up if they saw him outside. If they attacked him, he said, he was prepared to take the fallout.
After the Tiger Eye PI team published their Number 12 investigative work, which exposed some flaws in the football industry, the exposure and threats surfaced. Kwesi Nyantakyi, the former president of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), was charged in the aforementioned investigation. He was later fired and punished by FIFA.
Later, he declared that he would pay GHC 100,000 to anyone with information on the murderers.
In the meantime, Mr. Suale’s family refuted Ken Agyapong’s claim that Anas Aremeyaw Anas and Ahmed had a falling out right before Mr. Suale was killed.
If Ahmed Suale’s family continued to hold “silly” press conferences about him, Ken Agyapong threatened to release more videos of Ahmed Suale.
