Eyewitnesses said the gunmen were on a motorbike and sped off after shooting Ahmed-Suale.
Most Ghanaians criticised the MP for Assin Central after Ahmed-Suale’s death because he openly called for retribution against Ahmed-Suale on TV in the heat of the release of the #Number12 video in July 2018.
Others said Kwesi Nyantakyi who has been banned perpetually by FIFA and lost all his positions in local and international football due to the #Number12 exposé could be behind his death.
After his death, Ghanaians and many international organizations have condemned the killing and called for speedy and thorough investigations.
A US Congressman has also called on the US assists Ghana to investigate the matter.
Meanwhile, the police have called on the public to volunteer relevant information to help it identify the perpetrators of the crime.
