Dr Justice Srem-Sai, the Deputy Attorney General, has revealed that the suspect in Ahmed Suale’s case will be re-arrested.
According to Dr Justice Srem-Sai, the Attorney General’s office requested further investigation in the Ahmed Suale case.
He disclosed that the Attorney General did not advise that the suspect be discharged by the court.
Speaking on GHOne TV, Dr Justice Srem-Sai stated, “ We asked for further investigation in the Ahmed Suale case; we didn’t advise that the suspect be discharged. He will be re-arrested.
His comments come after reports that the Attorney General’s Office has discontinued prosecution in the murder case of investigative journalist Ahmed Suale.
The Madina District Court has discharged the accused following a directive from the Attorney General’s Office.
According to reports, the prosecution, led by Nana Afua Bamfoa Bamfo, informed the court on Tuesday, October 14, 2025, that “They had been directed by the Attorney General, Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine, to discontinue the case”.
The Madina District Court, presided over by Susan Nyarkotey, subsequently discharged Daniel Owusu Koranteng and disposed of the case.
It will be recalled, in 2019, Ahmed Suale, a key member of the Tiger Eye P.I. investigative team, was shot and killed in January by unknown assailants.
His murder ignited a national and international outrage, with demands for justice from press freedom advocates and human rights organisations.
Owusu Koranteng was later arrested following joint investigations by the FBI and Ghanaian law enforcement authorities.
The suspect was charged with abetment of crime and murder in connection with the death of investigative journalist Ahmed Suale; he, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges.
According to the prosecution, the suspect led two other alleged culprits currently at large to the home of Ahmed-Hussein Suale, where he was eventually shot and killed by unknown assailants.
Ahmed Suale was a member of the Tiger Eye PI investigative team led by Anas Aremeyaw Anas.
In court, the A-G’s legal opinion, grounded in a meticulous analysis of the police docket.
They concluded that the claimed call records used to implicate Mr Koranteng were inconclusive and failed to establish any direct or circumstantial link between him and the commission of the offence.
They further added that none of the sketches generated by the police based on vivid descriptions of the eyewitnesses resemble the accused Mr Koranteng.
The Attorney-General then advised that the prosecution redirect its investigative efforts toward identifying and apprehending the principal perpetrators of the heinous crime.
Meanwhile, the two unidentified gunmen who executed the fatal attack remain at large six years after the incident.
Mr Koranteng, who appeared in court clad in a white shirt, was accompanied by his legal counsel, Emma-Jean Markin, Esq., and Frederick Gurah Sampson, Esq.
Mr Koranteng has consistently maintained his innocence throughout the course of the investigation.
