VIDEOS: HOW GUNMEN KILLED UNDERCOVER JOURNALIST WHO HELPED EXPOSE FOOTBALL GRAFT
Graphic description of how Ghana’s ant-graft crusader was killed has emerged. According to Ghanaweb.com, an eyewitness who was at the scene of the murder of Anas’ partner, Ahmed, has given more details on events leading to his sad death.
According to the eyewitness, Ahmed’s killers who rode on a motorbike followed him into a salon and fired two more shots at him after an earlier one.
This is contained in a video sighted by YEN.com.gh on Citinewsroom.
The eyewitness who spoke on conditions of anonymity revealed
that Ahmed was earlier in the company of some friends including himself when he
had a call and went over to move his car.
However, as soon as he moved the car, the gunmen who were
apparently monitoring his moves crossed the car and fired the first gun at him
at a junction.
According to the eyewitness, Suale, upon reaching the
junction, slowed down and that was when the shot was fired.
Out of desperation to save his life, the journalist was said
to have driven backwards, losing control of the steering in the process, and as
a result, crashed into a hairdressing salon across the road breaking its glass
door.
The
gunmen then pursued him right into the salon and fired two more shots at him
killing him instantly.
Following this, a man who stood by and saw what was happening
decided to raise alarm, but one of the gunmen pointed his gun at him threatening
to shoot if he made any noise.
“So we all kept quiet because he was holding the gun in his
face. We couldn’t say anything and they came for the motorbike and went away,”
the eyewitness said sadly.
He added that it was after the gunmen had sped off that they
gathered the courage to call the police.
The police, he revealed, said they could not come immediately
because all their patrol cars had hit town.
Therefore, the young men around tried stopping some taxis to
help convey Suale to the hospital, but because it was a gunshot case, they all
refused. Consequently, before help could come for Ahmed to be taken to
the hospital, he had already died.
According to this narrator, the gunmen had earlier been
lurking in the area around 3:15 pm, however, no one suspected them.
“We saw them around 3:15 in the area but we didn’t pay
attention to them. They waited till it was late before they killed him. I had
my torchlight because it was late,” the eyewitness revealed.
Meanwhile, controversial MP for Assin Central, Kennedy
Agyapong, has called for the arrest of Anas.
He
said Anas’ ‘rushing’ to announce the death on social media giving all details
leading to the death was premature and raised suspicions.
According to him, a text message available shows that Ahmed
and Anas had had some misunderstandings recently which led to Anas killing him
for falling out of the team.
In a related development, some Ghanaians have slammed Anas
for blaming Ken for the death, with other saying “he (Anas) cannot be trusted
either”
