Ahmed Suale murder suspect admits taking photos but denies selling to Kennedy Agyapong – Prosecution
Thirty-five-year-old businessman Daniel Koranteng, also known as Nana Amakye, has denied allegations that he sold photographs of investigative journalist Ahmed Hussein-Suale to Member of Parliament Kennedy Agyapong before Suale’s murder in 2019.
Mr Koranteng, has been remanded in custody by the Madina District Court after being provisionally charged with murder.
Prosecutors argue that he played a role in Ahmed Suale’s killing, citing call records and his presence near the journalist’s residence at the time of the murder.
“Call records placed the accused in Madina near Suale’s residence before and at the time of the murder,” the prosecution said.
However, the prosecution alleges the accused rejected claims that he provided photographs of the deceased to Kennedy Agyapong.
This is despite admitting, per the prosecutors, that he knew Suale, had visited Agyapong, and had taken photos with the deceased.
“He admitted knowing the deceased, visiting Hon. Kennedy Agyapong, and taking photographs with the deceased but denied selling the photographs to anyone,” the prosecution told the court.
The prosecution maintains that Suale himself had identified Koranteng as the person responsible for supplying the images that were later broadcast on Net2 TV, where Kennedy Agyapong called for retribution against the journalist.
According to the prosecution, Mr Koranteng fled to the United Kingdom in 2019 after declining multiple police invitations.
He later returned to Ghana and was arrested in Amasaman on March 15, 2025, following intelligence reports.
The court has remanded him into custody pending further investigations, with committal proceedings set for April 1, 2025.
Meanwhile, the prosecution insists that investigations are ongoing.
