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 before Suale’s murder in 2019.
Koranteng, who has been remanded in custody by the Madina District Court, faces provisional charges of murder. Prosecutors claim that he played a role in Suale’s killing, referencing call records and his presence near the journalist’s residence at the time of the murder.
“Call records placed the accused in Madina near Suale’s residence before and at the time of the murder,” the prosecution stated.
However, in court, Koranteng rejected claims that he provided photographs of the deceased to Kennedy Agyapong, despite admitting he knew Suale, had visited Agyapong, and had taken 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 revealed.
The prosecution further asserts that Suale had identified Koranteng as the person responsible for supplying the images 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 ignoring multiple police invitations and later returned to Ghana, where he was arrested in Amasaman on March 15, 2025, based on intelligence reports.
The court has remanded him into custody pending further investigations, with committal proceedings scheduled for April 1, 2025.
The prosecution has emphasized that investigations are ongoing.
