- Koranteng denies selling Suale’s photos to Agyapong
- He faces murder charges and was arrested in March 2025
- Court remands him, with proceedings on April 1, 2025
Daniel Koranteng, a 35-year-old businessman also known as Nana Amakye, has denied the accusations that he sold photographs of investigative journalist Ahmed Hussein-Suale to Member of Parliament Kennedy Agyapong prior to Suale’s murder in 2019.
Koranteng, who is currently remanded in custody by the Madina District Court, faces provisional charges of murder. Prosecutors allege that he played a part in Suale’s death, citing phone records and his proximity to the journalist’s home at the time of the killing.
The prosecution stated, “Call records placed the accused in Madina near Suale’s residence before and during the murder.”
However, in court, Koranteng denied the accusation that he sold photographs of Suale to Kennedy Agyapong, although he admitted to knowing Suale, visiting Agyapong, and taking photographs with the journalist.
The prosecution revealed, “He acknowledged knowing the deceased, visiting Hon. Kennedy Agyapong, and taking photos with the deceased, but denied selling the photographs to anyone.”
Additionally, the prosecution claims that Suale had identified Koranteng as the individual who supplied the images that were later broadcast on Net2 TV, where Agyapong called for vengeance against the journalist.
The prosecution also stated that Koranteng fled to the United Kingdom in 2019 after disregarding multiple police summons. He later returned to Ghana and was arrested in Amasaman on March 15, 2025, based on intelligence reports.
The court has ordered Koranteng to remain in custody pending further investigation, with a committal hearing scheduled for April 1, 2025. The prosecution has emphasized that the investigation is ongoing.
