POLICE in Ghana say an investigative journalist whose work exposing corruption in African football led to the downfall of a member of the sport’s high-powered Fifa Council has been shot dead by gunmen on a motorbike.
Police said yesterday that Ahmed Hussein-Suale had been killed on Wednesday night, with reports saying he was shot twice in the chest and once in the neck.
He was part of an undercover reporting team led by Anas Aremeyaw Anas, a renowned investigative journalist in Ghana.
Anas confirmed Hussein-Suale’s death on Facebook, saying: “Sad news, but we shall not be silenced. Rest in peace.”
A part of the journalists’ work led to then Fifa Council member Kwesi Nyantakyi, the second most powerful man in African football, being banned from the sport for life last year for bribery and corruption.
