However, they were later released on police enquiry bail after eyewitnesses failed to identify them.<\/p>\n<p>Ahmed Suale was tragically murdered on January 16, 2019, by two unidentified individuals on a motorbike with a concealed license plate. The incident took place in Madina as Suale was returning from a family gathering.<\/p>\n<p>The GJA President questioned the AG\u2019s reluctance to release the investigative report, after stating that the docket is not suitable for prosecution.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview on <em><strong>The Point of View<\/strong><\/em> on Citi TV, hosted by Bernard Avle, the GJA President criticized the security agencies for their lack of seriousness in dealing with attacks on journalists<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we speak today, we still haven\u2019t gotten anywhere with investigations. The Attorney-General will come out and tell you that he has still not received any docket fit for prosecution. If you have not received a docket fit for prosecution, why don\u2019t you make the docket you have received known to the public? It means that there\u2019s still a docket, if it\u2019s not fit for prosecution, give us the state of the investigative report on the matter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo that at least we can all go to sleep and say that this is what the police have gotten to. We are in this country where police officers were shot dead and in a matter of 24\/48 hours, police have arrested [suspects]. Without any lead, they have been arrested and prosecuted, and some are on remand. So, that should tell you the unseriousness the security agencies or companies attach to the attacks on the media. This very real,\u201d he pointed out.<\/p>\n<p>He also questioned the last time a politician was arrested for assaulting a journalist<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen was the last time you heard that a politician or a preparator of an attack on the media has been placed behind bars? They don\u2019t take issues concerning the media very seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u2014\u2013<\/strong><\/em><br \/><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU: https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Albert Kwabena Dwumfour, President of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA), has called on the Attorney-General to release the investigative report on the murder of investigative journalist, Ahmed Suale.
