A Ghanaian politician, Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly known as A Plus, has been sued by the Coalition of National Zongo Political Groupings for allegedly exploiting the death of investigative journalist Ahmed Suale to gain public attention. The lawsuit, led by Yahaya Alhassan, who is the National Chairman of the Coalition, claims that A Plus, a well-known Ghanaian musician and social media blogger, made inflammatory statements in a viral video where he claimed to know the identities of Suale's killers. Ahmed Suale was assassinated on January 16, 2019, and despite several years passing, the perpetrators have yet to be brought to justice. The Zongo Muslim community, deeply affected by Suale's death, has expressed outrage over what they perceive as A Plus's attempt to use the tragedy for personal gain. The Coalition contends that A Plus' refusal to reveal the names of the alleged killers amounts to aiding and abetting the crime.
