By now you must be aware of the Ahmed Hussein tragedy, the Ghanaian undercover journalist who was brutally murdered for exposing the rot that has been ongoing in Ghana’s football scene.
Unidentified men on motorbikes shot Ahmed Hussein-Suale three times in the capital Accra, local media reports say.He was a member of Tiger Eye Private Investigations and had investigated corruption in Ghana’s football leagues.
The undercover report on cash gifts led to a lifetime ban for the former head of Ghana’s Football Association.
BBC Africa Eye made a documentary about the scandal last year after gaining access to the investigation led by journalist Anas Aremayaw Anas, who runs Tiger Eye.
After the BBC broadcast the football documentary, Ghanaian MP Kennedy Agyapong circulated photos of Mr Hussein-Suale and called for retribution against him. The politician clearly laid instructions on national Televison saying anyone who comes across Ahmed should beat him up or do whatever he wants with him and he will pay for the damages.
I know the story sound like a made up movie script but it is the reality. Below is the video..
