How in the world are we going down to this level? Silencing of critics and press doesn't do us any good.

We often clamor for professionalism in what we do and yet when you tell folks what it takes, they don't want to take the heat. Our football is in a dicey situation and boy they are fighting real hard to keep it on status quo.

FOOTBALL WHISTLEBLOWER MURDERED IN GHANA

Ghana journalist who helped expose corruption in football shot dead

Associated Press
An investigative journalist in Ghana who helped expose a high-ranking official at world football body FIFA as corrupt was shot dead by gunmen on a motorbike as he drove home alone at night, police said on Thursday.

His employers said he was assassinated.

Ahmed Hussein-Suale was killed late on Wednesday, shot twice in the chest and once in the neck at close range while driving in the suburb of Accra where he lived. He died immediately, according to police.

Tiger Eye PI, the investigative journalism house Hussein-Suale worked for, said it had the hallmarks of a professional hit.

"We call on the security agencies to unmask the elements behind this assassination and bring them to book," Tiger Eye PI said.

Police haven't announced any arrests. Ghana's President Nana Akufo-Addo condemned the killing and said he expected police to arrest the perpetrators of the "heinous crime" as soon as possible.

Hussein-Suale worked under the leadership of Anas Aremeyaw Anas, a renowned Ghanaian investigative journalist once singled out and praised by former U.S. President Barack Obama as courageous and who has used undercover television documentaries to expose graft and organized crime in Ghana and across Africa.

Anas, who himself has gone undercover to investigate issues like human trafficking and corruption among Ghanaian judges, appears in public wearing elaborate, multi-colored veils over his face to protect his identity. The veils allow him to work without being recognized but also help to avoid reprisals.

Anas confirmed Hussein-Suale's death on Facebook: "Sad news, but we shall not be silenced. Rest in peace."

The team's most recent work focused on exposing corruption in African football, which they portray as a murky world of backroom meetings where coaches, referees and even the most senior officials can be bribed to fix games or hand out favours.

The team got one of its biggest scoops when it caught Kwesi Nyantakyi, a member of world football's FIFA Council and the second-most powerful man in African football at the time, taking a bribe of $65,000 from their undercover reporters, who were posing as unethical businessmen. Nyantakyi smiles as he stuffs the wads of cash into a black plastic bag and agrees to use his position as president of the Ghanaian Football Association to help the businessmen -- for a cut of their profits.

Nyantakyi resigned from all of his roles and was banned from football for life last year for bribery, corruption and conflict of interest as a result of the documentary. He is appealing the ruling.

The film also alleged widespread corruption among other officials, referees and coaches, and the entire Ghana Football Association was shut down by Ghana's president as a result. The Confederation of African Football, the continent's top football body, banned or suspended nearly two dozen referees and officials because of Anas' team's work.

Tiger Eye PI said Hussein-Suale's last project for it was the football documentary. It didn't say what other projects he was involved in for them. The BBC said Hussein-Suale worked with it on various projects, including an investigation into human body parts sold for ritual magic in Malawi.

Some of the methods used by Anas' team have been questioned and stoked criticism, particularly the tactic of reporters posing as others to trap possibly corrupt figures. The methods have been denounced as illegal by some, including Nyantakyi.

Hussein-Suale's killing also brought attention to comments made on television by a Ghanaian politician and businessman after the Nyantakyi scandal broke. Kennedy Agyapong, a member of parliament, appeared on his own television station to single out and denounce Hussein-Suale as "dangerous" and call for members of the public to assault the journalist if they came across him.

Ranting and shouting into the camera, Agyapong said: "That boy [Ahmed-Hussein] that's very dangerous, he lives here in Madina. If you meet him somewhere, break his ears. If he ever comes to this premises, I'm telling you, beat him. Whatever happens, I'll pay because he's bad, that Ahmed."

The station also broadcast photographs of Hussein-Suale, apparently revealing his identity. Agyapong, in comments made on Ghanaian radio on Thursday, denied any involvement in the killing.

But in his Facebook message paying tribute to Hussein-Suale, and saying his team will not be silenced, Anas also posted a link to that Agyapong video.

"We ... remain unshaken in our resolve to pursue nation-wreckers and make corruption a high-risk activity in the country," Tiger Eye PI said. "Ahmed was an excellent, experienced investigative journalist."

My brother, that is the real question. Fast forward to Nigerian context, many are cowards and without guts. The same screamers end up getting bought out for a price. For many years we saw what bad refereeing did to Nigerian league and the few that stood their ground ended up getting stifled.
May God help this humanity of His.

Police Interrogates Kwesi Nyantakyi

The Ghana Police Service says a team of detectives and other experts have interrogated former Ghana Football Association (GFA) boss over the death of the private investigator, Ahmed Hussein-Suale.

The Service said a statement has been taken from Kwasi Nyantakyi as the deceased played a key role in the Number 12 documentary by a renowned undercover journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas.

In a statement Monday signed by the ACP David Eklu, giving an update on Mr Hussein-Suale’s death, the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) confirmed that they have started “extensive and rigorous investigations into the unfortunate killing of Mr Hussein Suale.”

“The CID has and continues to interrogate other persons of interest as well as following up on multiple significant leads,” it added.

Ahmed Husein-Suale, who is a teammate of Anas Aremeyaw Anas, was shot dead at Madina in Accra last Wednesday night.

Mr. Hussein-Suale and colleagues who were involved in the investigation of corruption in Ghana football in mid-2018 and the subsequent resignation of GFA President, Kwasi Nyantakyi, were heavily criticised.

Mr Nyantakyi mentioned the deceased in his statement to the police following his arrest after the #Numer12 documentary was aired.

They came under heavy personal attack from people against the work, including the governing New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) parliamentarian for Assin Central in the Central Region.

Kennedy Agyapong used his television station NET2 to encourage violence against the investigator, offering to pay personally for such violence, disclosed deceased’s whereabouts and showed photographs of him during a live broadcast.

According to the police, the MP has been interrogated and a statement taken from him.

The police assure that they will undertake a thorough investigation of high integrity in the killing of Mr Hussein-Suale as well as all other unresolved crimes in general.

“Updates and outcomes of these investigations will be made known to the general public as they become available and appropriate to do so,” the statement added.

The CID is appealing to the general public to provide information to the nearest police station or through:
