Gomoa Central MP, Kwame Asare-Obeng, popularly known as A Plus, has called on the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) to provide a public update on the investigation into the murder of journalist Ahmed Suale.
In a Facebook post, the MP revealed that he had previously met with the CID at their headquarters, where he identified a high-profile minister from the former government as allegedly involved in orchestrating the crime. During the meeting, he also disclosed his source, whom he described as highly credible, in the presence of the CID director.
A Plus urged the CID director to update the public on the investigation’s progress and justify any delays, warning that the case appears to have 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,” he wrote.
The MP further threatened to disclose what he knows about the matter, including the name of the alleged perpetrator, on social media if the CID fails to act.

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.
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.
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.
