Thirty-five-year-old businessman Daniel Koranteng, also known as Nana Amakye, has denied allegations that he sold photographs of investigative journalist Ahmed Hussein-Suale to Member of Parliament Kennedy Agyapong prior to Suale’s murder in 2019.

Koranteng has been remanded in custody by the Madina District Court after being provisionally charged with murder. Prosecutors claim that Koranteng played a significant role in the killing of Ahmed Suale, citing call records and his presence near the journalist’s residence at the time of the murder.

“Call records place the accused in Madina near Suale’s residence before and at the time of the murder,” the prosecution stated.

Despite the accusations, Koranteng rejected claims that he sold photographs of the deceased to Kennedy Agyapong. However, prosecutors noted that he admitted to knowing Suale, visiting Agyapong, and taking photos with the journalist.

“He admitted knowing the deceased, visiting Hon. Kennedy Agyapong, and taking photographs with the deceased, but denied selling the photographs to anyone,” the prosecution told the court.

The prosecution further maintains that Suale had identified Koranteng as the individual responsible for supplying the images, which were later broadcast on Net2 TV, where Agyapong called for retribution against the journalist.

According to the prosecution, Koranteng fled to the United Kingdom in 2019 after declining multiple police invitations for questioning. He returned to Ghana and was arrested in Amasaman on March 15, 2025, following intelligence reports.

The court has remanded him into custody pending further investigations, with committal proceedings scheduled for April 1, 2025. Investigations into the case are ongoing.

Meanwhile, the prosecution insists that investigations are ongoing.
