According to him, the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Director has within that period to brief the nation on the update of the killers of late investigative journalist, Ahmed Suale.
In a post on his Facebook page yesterday, he stated “Last year, I was invited to the CID headquarters to provide information regarding the murder of Ahmed Suale. During the meeting, I identified a high-profile minister from the previous government who was allegedly involved in contracting assailants to carry out the crime. I also disclosed my source, a highly credible one, in the presence of the CID director.”
He added “It is critical that the CID director updates the public on the progress of the investigation and indicate with justification whether additional time is required.”
Against this backdrop, he pointed out that “At this point, it appears the matter has been sidelined. If no update is provided within 48 hours, I will invoke my authority as a Member of Parliament to formally summon the Ghana Police Service to brief Parliament on this case.”
“Should that fail, I will utilize my Facebook and other social media platforms to update the nation on what I know about the matter which shall include the name of the alleged perpetrator.Thank you,” he concluded.
