Former Deputy Attorney General Alfred Tuah Yeboah has shed light on the challenges investigators faced in the early stages of probing the murder of investigative journalist Ahmed Suale.
Speaking on Channel One Newsroom, he detailed the legal roadblocks that initially prevented any prosecution. "During our time, the police did some investigations and, after the investigations, submitted the docket to the AG's office for our review," he explained.
After thoroughly examining the case file, he and his team found significant gaps in the evidence, making it impossible to proceed with prosecution at the time. "After reviewing the docket, we realised that there wasn't enough evidence on the docket to warrant the prosecution of anyone, and we advised the police to go on with the investigation," he added.
Years after Suale's assassination-a killing that sent shockwaves through Ghana's media landscape-the police have now managed to make an arrest, bringing fresh hope for justice.
